Tom Phillips Joins WWE SmackDown Live As Part Of 4 Person Announce Team
World Wrestling Entertainment has stated that NXT play-by-play commentator Tom Phillips will be joining the Smackdown Live announce team.
Phillips is joining play-by-play commentators Mauro Ranallo and David Otunga, and color commentators John Bradshaw Layfield, giving Smackdown a 4 man announce team. Although Phillips is joining Smackdown, he will still be calling the play-by-play commentary for NXT every week with color commentator Corey Graves.
Can't even begin to explain how humbling this is, and am so appreciative to all who've reached out. Sincerely, thank you

Note from John Canton: I’m watching Smackdown and he’s not even calling matches. He’s just talking about video packages as well as mentioning what’s to come later in the show.
