Apr 11, 2017

WWE just announced on their social media accounts after Raw that Byron Saxton and David Otunga will be switching places as part of the “Superstar Shake-up.”

Interviewer: We just found out that it doesn’t only affect superstars, but announcers as well. David Otunga is headed to Raw while you’ll be now announcing for SmackDown Live.

Byron: Wow. I’m kinda shocked right now. Obviously we saw a lot of changes on Raw, and I guess I’m one of those changes. You know what? I’m gonna miss Michael. I’m gonna miss Corey… well, maybe not so much Corey. But you know what, I’m gonna be positive about this. Great opportunity. Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan always say SmackDown Live is the land of opportunity. I’m ready to seize it. I guess I’ll wear blue now. Thanks.
