#3 His involvement with NXT, Main Event and WWE List This

WWE signed Vic Joseph in January, 2017. Although his resume was quite impressive, the fans were in doubt regarding how the promotion will use him with so many other announcers on board.

WWE didn't rush with Joseph and allowed him to get groomed as a member of the black-and-gold brand. In the meantime, Vic also started commentating for WWE Main Event, with Corey Graves.

Apart from NXT, Vic Joseph started contributing to the widely-popular 'WWE List This'. His method of describing the scenarios in the series, added with his delivering technique attracted praises from the viewers and the officials alike.

The new lead RAW commentator recently recalled his work in NXT and how Tom Philips mentored him in his initial days.

I dont want to let another second pass without crediting @TomPhillipsWWE. Without him NONE of today’s news would have been possible. He mentored me, molded me, spent countless hours when he didn’t have to helping me (and others) and for that THANK YOU!
