WWE Internally Fired Up About Joe Tessitore’s 9/2 WWE RAW Debut

WWE has invited a few notable names from outside pro wrestling to take a seat at the commentary table. People like Mauro Ranallo, Kevin Patrick, Jimmy Smith and Mike Adamle might not have lasted, even though Ranallo is one of the greatest play-by-play men in the combat sports game, but WWE is continuing this tradition with Joe Tessitore. There is a lot of hype behind that as well.

There’s growing excitement in the wrestling world as renowned sports personality Joe Tessitore makes his debut on WWE RAW tonight. Tessitore, a seasoned ESPN analyst, is set to bring a professional tone to the red brand, something WWE has been seeking to enhance its broadcast presentation. Known for his work on Monday Night Football, Top Rank Boxing, and several BCS bowl games, Tessitore’s extensive experience in the sports industry has generated high expectations for his performance.

According to WrestleVotes, Joe Tessitore is expected to work closely with WWE’s veteran commentator Michael Cole during the early stages of his tenure. Cole, a strong advocate for Tessitore, will continue his duties as the voice of SmackDown on Friday nights. This partnership could mark an exciting new chapter for WWE’s commentary team.
