WWE Announces Hall Of Famer As Temporary Commentary Replacement For David Otunga

Yesterday, the WWE announced that David Otunga won't be at his new post at the Raw commentary desk for a month and a half, as he will be playing the lead role in a new movie.

Today, they announced his temporary replacement, and they didn't have to go too far to find him.

Booker T to temporarily replace David Otunga on Raw commentary team

Shucky ducky, quack quack.

While new Raw commentator David Otunga is spending the next six weeks shooting "Katrina," an upcoming action film, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T will be temporarily joining Michael Cole and Corey Graves at the Team Red announce desk.

The change comes mere days after the Superstar Shake-up moved Otunga from the SmackDown LIVE broadcast team to Raw, while the red brand's Byron Saxton went to Team Blue. Booker, a longtime former SmackDown commentator and frequent Kickoff panelist, will now bring his insight — and unending supply of catchphrases — to Monday night's hottest show until Otunga returns to WWE TV in late May.

Booker T on Raw? We can dig that, suckaaaaaa! Don't miss Booker T's return to commentary this Monday night on Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network.

Booker T has been a mainstay on the PPV Kickoff Shows for a while now, and used to be a commentator on the SmackDown desk.
