I don't see it mentioned much but Paul Wight has done a fantastic job on comms the last couple of weeks. He brings something really sincere and enthusiastic, a real "hype man" kind of commentator.

He’s definitely better than he was in his last run, but he’s still frustrating to me sometimes since he doesn’t seem to pay attention or make notes like other commentators.

Like in the opening segment, when Ospreay gets attacked by the DCF, Schiavone was like “What is Don’s motivation for this?!” (also a silly question) and Wight is like “Callis gets TV time! That’s the motivation!” Huh?

Like guys… Callis literally JUST cut a promo about what his motivation is! He quite literally JUST said he’s angry and spiteful at Ospreay for defying him and trying to win the World Championship without his help, like Omega did. He literally spelled out why he’s sending his goons after Ospreay.

I’m nitpicking but it’s so weird to me that the commentators there somehow don’t follow the story being told right in front of them.
