With WWE Raw moving to Netflix on Monday, changes are being made to the broadcast team. Pat McAfee will return to the announcer desk and he'll be joined by Michael Cole.
Joe Tessitore had been calling WWE Raw alongside Wade Barrett during the second half of 2024.
Speaking to Jimmy Traina on the SI Media podcast, Triple H confirmed that Tessitore will move to WWE SmackDown moving forward.
"Yes," he said when asked if Tessitore would be on WWE SmackDown.
Speaking about Tessitore and the job he's done, Triple H said, "He's such a massive fan. Even before he was doing anything with us, Joe would text me on stuff. We became friends through Nick. He would be telling me, 'I saw on this podcast,' and I don't even know what he's talking about, and it's my job to know what he's talking about."
Along with his work for WWE, Tessitore calls college football for ESPN.
Elsewhere during the interview, Triple H confirmed WWE Raw on Netflix will have a flexible runtime. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
