A few months ago WWE made a big change to the Monday Night Raw commentary team when Booker T was replaced by Jonathan Coachman. Booker T recently announced that he will be returning to the Raw commentary team on Monday, but Coachman seemed a little surprised when a fan asked him about Booker’s return on Twitter.
What? Where did you hear that? Do you know something I don’t know? https://t.co/lIR17aYS5G

Coachman later responded to another fan and confirmed that he will not be at Raw on Monday, but Booker will.
Apparently not. @BookerT5x is telling the truth. He will be doing commentary Monday. But I have a feeling it’s ALL for a good reason. #vision #crosspromotion. @WorldLongDrive https://t.co/uXjzsXPiqx

However, it appears that this change is only temporary, as Coachman also confirmed that he will be returning to Raw for the April 30th episode in Montreal.
Thank you. I will be back in Montreal. No worries. I tell people on my show all the time you have to evolve with the times. This is a small way to do it. More/different eyeballs on both shows. That why I am honored to work for @WWE and @GolfChannel. #forwardthinking. https://t.co/gEYiZGnKfp

Jonathan Coachman also responded to a fan who criticized his commentary skills, and he jokingly noted that he would be willing to give the fan a look if he’s interested in becoming his new assistant.
@TheCoachrules is so bad on commentary on Raw I’m getting such a headache from him. Good god do a minute of research if you’re going to be a voice of raw

I am actually hiring an assistant right now to do my research. If you are interested would love to give you a look. First item for you look up the word “entertainment”. After that look up the term “block party”. Let me know what you find. 😂 https://t.co/ezRTm1QAaB
