There’s been a lot of recent talk within WWE about Michael Cole’s future on TV.
Cole is reportedly becoming more and more interested in moving to an off-camera role as he continues with behind-the-scenes duties. Cole handles some parts of WWE production and works to groom the up & coming WWE announcers, including Nigel McGuinness.
No word yet on when Cole might transition into a full-time backstage role but lately there’s been more talk of it happening.

Might explain why Phillipe is on SDLIVE, they could be grooming him to take Cole's job on Raw.
Micheal Cole has been around a long time so it's not surprising he'd wantto move away from camera. Honestly I'm not going to miss him too much. Never really liked the sound of his voice and having Vince in his ear hasn't helped him either. I've heard Graves and Tom Phillips do commentary on NXT before, wouldn't mind them doing Raw. Go back to two man commentating teams.
Good for him if nothing else. Love him or hate him he's been pretty much on the booth for nearly 20 years and always worked hard. It's easy to forget that he's been with the company itself since he was in his 20s.
Interested to see who replaces him though. Can't say I have much hope for Tom Phillips right now but who knows.
I'd be more than happy with the team of Austin Aries and Cory Graves just spending 3 hours shitting on Byron Saxton every week. It would be more entertaining than what is happening in the ring :lol
They need to just put the NXT band back together: Tom, Corey and Sax Man.
