#3 The commentary team is too crowded

For years, fans have been complaining that the three-person commentary team is too crowded, and that opinion appears to be proven on a weekly basis.

On WWE Raw, Michael Cole provides the play-by-play commentary while Corey Graves interjects his opinions with color commentary. On the SmackDown Live side of things, Graves again helms color commentary, with Todd Phillips playing the role of the play-by-play announcer.

The two distinct voices on Raw and SmackDown are enough, but WWE has decided to complicate things by adding a third voice to the equation, with Renee Young on Raw and Byron Saxton on SmackDown.

As is often the case, Young and Saxton's voices are drowned out by the other two commentary team members, and more often than not Young and Saxton are left with little of value to contribute considering all the information is being covered by Graves, Cole and Phillips.
