Major WWE SD! Announce Team Shakeup - Details

Booker T was introduced as the newest member of the SmackDown announce team at tonight's SmackDown taping in Long Island, New York, replacing Matt Striker. The team now consists of the returning Superstar, Michael Cole and Josh Mathews.

He performed the "Spin-a-Roonie" in the ring before joining his new colleagues at the announce desk.

As reported earlier, Booker T returned to World Wrestling Entertainment to announce as well as wrestle. His new role with the company is being compared to that of Jerry Lawler's since he announces and wrestles.

Booker T, along with Kevin Nash, returned to WWE Sunday to participate in the 40-Man Royal Rumble Match. He entered the battle royal at number twenty-one and was ultimately eliminated by Mason Ryan.

The six-time world champion reportedly signed a long-term contract with the organization.

why cant we get rid of Cole?

Cheap heat.

I'm looking forward to listening to his commentary.

I wonder what sort of role Nahs will play under his new contract.

I miss Stevie ray now...calling women Yaks in WCW.

when they catfight he called it sa yak attack.

Nash has a legends contract NCD.

I'm interested to see how this will work, cos I like Booker.

I know. What I'm saying is I wonder what kind of stuff he'll primarily be doing:

Helping youngster behind the scenes? Work house shows or dark matches? A little commentary sparingly? Or a little of each?

That's amazing! I can't wait to hear Booker on commentary

WWE has actually peaked some of my interest back, grats to them.

awesome for booker, wish it was just him & josh.

Booker is funny as hell. It should have been him and Striker. Cole is already on Raw anyway.

I would take Booker, Josh and Striker over any combination including Cole.
