Reaction to Jimmy Smith’s debut as the lead WWE RAW announcer
Jimmy Smith made his debut as lead WWE RAW announcer on the May 31st 2021 edition of the show. Smith replaced Adnan Virk who had trended on Twiter during the April 26th 2021 edition of WWE RAW due to complaints.
Smith commented on his first night…
Had a blast at #WWERaw tonight! Amazing match between @DMcIntyreWWE and @TrueKofi! Tried my best to give it the energy it deserved

Smith was generally praised on Twitter for his performance with numerous people considering him to be an improvement over Virk…
I know it’s early, but Jimmy Smith seems far more comfortable in his commentary role on #WWERaw compared to Adnan Virk. He doesn’t sound like a first time #WWE commentator, which is promising.

Jimmy Smith is such a massive Upgrade from Adran Virk.#WWERaw

Jimmy Smith is doing a great job tonight, especially for night one of wrestling commentary. It's obvious he has combat sports experience and he fits well with Corey and Byron. #WWERaw

I'm sold on Jimmy Smith already. He is doing really good on commentary.
Great upgrade.#WWERaw

He's commentated 2 minutes worth of match and already I think Jimmy Smith > Adnan Virk #WWERaw
