Plans for Smackdown announce team

With Tazz leaving the company and leaving a spot open on the Smackdown announce team with Jim Ross, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that there has been no decision as to what will happen at the Smackdown tapings this Tuesday (April 7) in Austin, TX. There is speculation that WWE could put Jerry Lawler or Matt Striker on Smackdown with JR for the time being until they figure out a long-term plan. It is also possible JBL could step into the role if they decide to finish things up with his character in the ring as rumored, but nothing has been confirmed and is more people hoping it works out that way within the company.
