Real Reason Jonathan Coachman Being Replaced
The night after this year’s Royal Rumble, Jonathan Coachman returned to WWE to replace Raw commentator Booker T. GREAT RETURN COACHMAN!
But his last three months have seen him struggle to reacclimatise to WWE commentary, with Michael Cole and Corey Graves constantly poking fun at his mistakes. WWE’s solution? Replace the replacement with the guy the replacement replaced – as Booker T revealed in an interview late last week.
Will I be doing WWE commentary again? Look for me this Monday night, man. SHUCKYDUCKYQUACKQUACK!
Shuckyduckyquackquack. Shuckyduckyquackquack, indeed.
Coachman was caught unaware by Booker T’s news, responding to a tweet about him leaving Raw:
What? Where did you hear that? Do you know something I don’t know? https://t.co/lIR17aYS5G

Panic presumably over, Coachman then figured out what was going on.
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

It turns out Coachman is off WWE this week so he can cover the World Long Drive event for the Golf Channel, an absence which was “planned from the start in January”, meaning he’ll miss both tonight’s episode of Raw and Friday’s Greatest Royal Rumble event.
