The heart of the matter
Mike Johnson of PWInsider asserted that contrary to ongoing rumblings in the professional wrestling community, Michael Cole has in fact graduated to an advisory role in the WWE.
While certain experts believe that Cole could step away from his on-screen obligations in the WWE and retreat to a backstage role in the promotion, the fact remains that announcers such as Vic Joseph, Nigel McGuinness and Corey Graves report directly to Cole besides also having to work under Vince McMahon, Triple H and Kevin Dunn.
Additionally, Johnson explained that Cole could eventually be taken off WWE television programming owing to age, or may simply be replaced by someone better should the WWE find a suitable replacement for him.
Nevertheless, Johnson clarified that, as of this time, the probability of Cole stepping away from his commentary duties seem incredibly low.
