July 9th 2024.
Joe Tessitore, a well-known broadcaster, has recently made a big career move by signing with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). This news has been confirmed by WWE, who have also announced some changes to their Raw and SmackDown announce teams.
At 53 years old, Tessitore will continue to work with ESPN and ABC, covering college football and Top Rank Boxing. However, he will now be a part of the commentary teams for WWE as well. He will join the likes of colour commentators Wade Barrett and Corey Graves in a three-man booth, although it has not been specified which show they will be working on.
WWE Chief Content Officer, Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, expressed his excitement for Tessitore joining the team, stating that his voice brings a special energy to every event he covers. Tessitore himself described it as an honor to be a part of WWE, and praised the company for their undeniable success in recent years.
Tessitore will be joining the already established duo of Barrett and Graves, who have been calling the action together. Graves, who was previously a colour commentator, has taken on a play-by-play role for the first time in his career. The addition of Tessitore to this team has been met with great enthusiasm from all parties involved.
However, there have been some changes at the commentary desk in recent years. Former NFL star Pat McAfee joined Michael Cole on Monday Night Raw, prompting Barrett to move to SmackDown. Other commentators such as Kevin Patrick, Jimmy Smith, and Byron Saxton have also tried their hand at calling the action, but are no longer with the company.
It has been confirmed that Cole and McAfee will continue to work together, while Tessitore has the backing of WWE President Nick Khan, who was his first media client. Cole will remain the main voice of WWE, but it is unclear which show Tessitore and the rest of the team will end up on.
According to sources, Tessitore has a great relationship with WWE's creative chief, Triple H. He has ample experience calling games for Monday Night Football and the College Football Playoff, making him a valuable addition to the team. This announcement comes before WWE's programming moves to Netflix for UK viewers in 2025, with Raw moving to the streaming platform in the United States as well.
It is believed that Netflix will eventually become the worldwide home of WWE, as their other media deals expire. This is a big step for the company, and Tessitore is excited to be a part of it.
