Leaked WWE Announcer Scripts Revealed

With many hours of original content every week, WWE continues to expand and create new avenues for success. Everything they do is centered around RAW and SmackDown Live- the two flagship shows.

One can only expect a sports entertainment company like WWE to prepare every finite detail of their show in order for it to go off without a hitch. Part of the way they do this is feeding through lines to WWE announcers. From the commentators to those at ringside, WWE is very meticulous about what they do.

Another prominent way is to use production scripts. These help the personnel to understand what they should be saying and doing throughout the show. The team over at Fightful were able to acquire a number of production scripts to showcase the type of content WWE announcers are expected to read from.

Check out the following examples from RAW on June 11:

• One Of These Superstars Will Seize Crucial Momentum Heading Into Their Money In The Bank Ladder Match – NEXT!
• (V.O. Note: Alexa Bliss Demanded To Have An Entrance For This Match.)
• Patience Is A Virtue For Some, But Not For Jinder Mahal; “The Modern-Day Maharaja” Laid Down A Challenge For A Match On Social Media, And Roman Reigns Accepted. Money In The Bank Comes Early When “The Modern-Day Maharaja” Steps Into “The Big Dog’s” Yard TONIGHT!
• What Started As A Friendly Challenge Has Escalated In Tension And Intensity; Nia Jax And Ronda Rousey Come Face-To-Face Just Days Prior To One Of The Biggest Matches In The History Of The RAW Women’s Championship TONIGHT!
• NARRATIVE COMMENTARY NOTE: Last week, the hostile alliance of Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre suffered their first setback after Ziggler was shockingly thrown over the top rope by Tyler Breeze, thus eliminating Ziggler & McIntyre from the Tag Team Battle Royal. Yet, despite their loss, McIntyre would not leave the ring without going on a warpath and making it clear to one and all that Drew McIntyre would never miss an opportunity for a fight!
