I only saw him come out after the Lesnar segment, so can't really judge how he did. With that said, I'd imagine it's incredibly difficult to call Raw, which still had two hours to go all by yourself. Why wouldn't they have had Lawler and Saxton come out together in the first place? Or any other two-man team for that matter. If you're going to send one man out to do a job like that it'd better be Joey Styles.

The best was when cena made his open challenge. Saxon shouts, "here comes Rusev" right before Ambrose's music hit. It seemed very awkward to me.

Saxton seemed like a nervous trainwreck who looked like he was reading of a teleprompter

Michael Cole spent the whole first hour saying that they expected Rusev to come out. Byron was playing up the fact that everyone thought Rusev would answer it. It wasn't a mistake.

Byron in usually great. Don't know what the happened on RAW. More than likely nerves. Yep. He looked terrified. It takes a rare talent to be able to call a show alone and I'm not sure that it's ever been done live. If Renee is added to the Raw announce team, who do they get rid of? They can't be thinking of have a four person announce team. That would be an unimaginable mess. The people is too many. WCW made it work but it's not working now.

Hey kid, biggest Raw of the year, you are gonna go out there by yourself and commentate, and do it standing up the whole time.

Byron is usually pretty good on commentary so it must've been nerves. Cut the bloke some slack Vinnie.
I don't like Renee on commentary, there I said it. Come get me WFigs!

I thought he was supposed to be concerned due to his colleagues being murdered by Brock. He said something like I apologise if I'm not at best, we are all shaken up here. Hopefully he won't be demoted or anything, not everyone can carry a show by themselves, especially with Vince, Trip, Dunn, other production guys and apparently Cole all talking to him through the headset.

Byron did choke out there so yeah..
Renee should have got that chance so maybe they can at least have her announce on SD and eventually Raw because it is about time a woman has a major announcing position!

This is not how you teach, though. You sit him down and talk about what he needs to do better. That's what good managing is. Apparently WWE is run by morons.

there's a reason that wrestling usually has multiple commentators at a table. saxton is no joey styles, most people would have struggled as he did being out there alone. once king came out he did improve, but the damage had been done and he was shook.

The idea of Renee on the Raw commentary team doesn't excite me, but I could probably live with it like I have with JBL for however long it's been. The idea of both JBL and her potentially being on the same commentary is enough to make me stop watching Raw. I just do not like her as a commentator.

I agree he was set up to fail, even when lawler got out there you could still barely hear sexton, they should have sent , or better yet just call up Albert and Graves and let them announce. Those two are awesome, if we can't have Ross or heyman commentating give us those two together......also Vince should not comment on anyone commentating bad he sucked at it. Sometimes I can barely make it through old RAWs on the network because of Vince's announcing....and 1 2 and yes 3 new champion! No kick out at 1. Or the great HahAha haaaaaa.

Heard about this before, I like Byron he's better as a ring announcer however, I think Renee needs just the same amount of work...

While Byron was pretty bad he was basically thrown to the Sharks. That isn't an easy job for anyone to do alone and they should of sent Byron, Lawler, and Rene Young or Corey Graves out there in the first place. I don't know why anyone thought sending Byron out there alone was a good idea.

I'd totally be okay with bae as a commentator on RAW. Though I'd also be okay with three hours of bae making funny faces but I digress.

God, I hope Renee NEVER gets on commentary again. Her NXT work was unbearable. Her voice is equivalent to nails on a chalkboard.
