WWE announced that Corey Graves will take over as SmackDown Live commentator for the departing JBL. Graves will also still be on Raw, and Nigel McGuinness will take over for him on 205 Live and Main Event, alongside Vic Joseph.
BREAKING: @WWEGraves will take over for @JCLayfield on #SDLive starting tomorrow; @McGuinnessNigel will step in for #205Live and #MainEvent!

Graves travels to SmackDown Live on Tuesdays anyway for 205 Live commentary, so it does make sense to just put him on SmackDown now that JBL is gone. JBL announced over the weekend that he’s leaving SmackDown Live to focus on working with at-risk youth in Bermuda.
Just to clear up any confusion, I'm NOT leaving #RAW. I'm joining #SDLive too!
Hey @ShinsukeN, get that knee ready!
