Rumor On A Change Coming To The RAW Announce Team

According to a report from Wrestling INC, WWE will be making a big change to the announce team that they have for Monday Night RAW.

Adnan Virk will be joining the RAW announce team as the new play-by-play guy. Virk is best-known for his time working for ESPN.

Virk will be replacing Tom Phillips. Here is what the site wrote:

Adnan Virk will be taking over play-by-play commentary on WWE RAW starting this Monday, Wrestling Inc. has learned.

Virk will be replacing Tom Phillips, who had been handling play-by-play duties on the show since last year.

Virk is a Canadian sportscaster who had hosted The Score in Canada. He worked for ESPN from 2010 until 2019, when he was fired for allegedly leaking ESPN information to the media. During an interview with The Washington Post last year, Virk said that he felt like ESPN was making an example out of him.

UPDATE: According to Andrew Zarian of Mat Men Radio, Corey Graves will be moving over to RAW to join Virk and Byron Saxton. Here is what he Tweeted:

I can confirm the report by @RajGiri_303 that Raw is getting a change-up for the announce team
