UPDATE: According to Andrew Zarian of Mat Men Radio, Adnan Virk to RAW isn’t the only significant change being made to the announce team. He stated that Corey Graves will be moved to RAW after Wrestlemania as well, replacing Samoa Joe. Saxton will remain on the team.

It’s unknown what will happen to Smackdown with the change, as Graves could work double duty or Joe could take his spot as color commentator.

Original: The RAW after WrestleMania always brings about lots of significant developments for the company moving forward, and apparently, one of those will reportedly take place at the announce desk.

According to Wrestling Inc., Adnan Virk, a Canadian sportscaster who currently does work for MLB Network and DAZN and previously worked at ESPN, will be replacing Tom Phillips as the play-by-play commentator on RAW. Virk will reportedly be inserted into the role starting on Monday’s show.

Phillips has been the role of lead commentator on RAW since January of last year when he replaced Vic Joseph.

As for Virk, he worked in various roles at ESPN before being fired by the company for allegedly leaking company information to the media. Virk later admitted that he made a mistake but thought ESPN made an example out of him.
