WWE Stars To Become Announcers

WWE

It is a time-honored tradition in professional wrestling for performers to transition into the role of announcer once their in-ring careers have wound down or ended entirely, and WWE has seen many examples of that.

Over the years, many memorable wrestlers have made the move to the commentary desk – icons like “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes in WCW, Booker T in NXT and Nigel McGuinness in AEW – each bringing their in-ring legacy, insight, and mic skills to a new role behind the headset.

Whether stepping away due to injury or age, the key traits for a successful announcer remain the same: charisma, a sharp understanding of in-ring storytelling, and the ability to communicate the fast-moving action.

With that in mind, here are some current stars who could one day make the leap from the ring to the commentary table.

8. Sami Zayn

Witty, insightful, and articulate, Sami Zayn is one of WWE’s most effective and compelling storytellers.

His promo work is consistently excellent, and his ability to blend humor with raw emotion is virtually unparalleled within the company.

That same skillset would translate seamlessly into a commentary role, where he could provide both entertaining delivery and meaningful insight into in-ring action and psychology.

While fans will hope his in-ring career continues for years – and that he finally captures “the big one” – a spot in the commentary booth surely awaits whenever he’s ready.
