The Superstar Shake-up certainly shook things up on Monday, but the in-ring competitors weren’t the only ones who switched brands during night one. After WWE Monday Night Raw went off the air, it was announced that Byron Saxton will be joining the SmackDown Live commentary team, and David Otunga will be heading to Raw.

Byron Saxton was informed he’ll be moving after the show and according to Byron he was “shocked.” Saxton said he’s going to miss working with Michael Cole and Corey Graves, then he backtracked on the Corey Graves comment.

The former Raw commentator said that SmackDown Live is the land of opportunity, so he’s going to seize his opportunity. You can see what else Byron Saxton had to say about the switch in the video below.
