The word making the rounds at WWE today is that former American Ninja Warrior announcer Jimmy Smith will indeed begin on the Raw announcing team this Monday.
As PWInsider.com reported yesterday, Smith, who joined the WWE announcing team at NXT Takeover: Stand and Deliver last month, has been putting in a lot of work to prepare for future WWE broadcast assignments. We noted yesterday he was very much in consideration for the role.
Prior to ANW, Smith competed in MMA and did commentary for UFC and Bellator.
