Wade Barrett tweeted:
BOOM! Excited to bleed blue on #SmackDown alongside the GOAT @MichaelCole for a little while! What a crazy opportunity.. ????

And THANK YOU #WWENXT.. I’ll be back! ???????? https://t.co/ZjkBqMMj3c
As Bennett noted, the plan is for him to eventually return to WWE NXT. Pat McAfee will be back calling Smackdown with Michael Cole when he returns to WWE.
It was noted in yesterday's Variety article that for "major live events" Michael Cole and Corey Graves will be the commentary team, meaning that across the board, for now, WWE is done with three-man announcing teams.
