I mean, if the WWE wants to get things going as best as possible, I think having the following teams would be wise:
RAW:
Joey Styles and John Bradshaw Layfield
-Joey Styles is the best play-by-play guy they have, and JBL is the most entertaining commentator they are currently using. JBL is still relevent to audiences, after holding the WWE Championship for 280 days this millennium, and I can see the two having a very good blue state/red state dynamic between them.
SmackDown!:
Josh Mathews and Paul Heyman
-Paul Heyman was a great colour commentator in 2001, and while he doesn't have experience in the ring, Josh Mathews does, so that is easily covered. Mathews is great at calling matches, and Heyman can get guys over in the booth ("GORE! GORE! GORE!"). By having him on SmackDown!, the WWE can also censor Heyman, making sure he doesn't try anything too shifty.
ECW:
Michael Cole and Tazz
-Remember when these guys were the best team in the WWE? They were fucking awesome, and almost the cult commentary connection. Michael Cole could be great if the WWE let him be the smartass we know he can be, and Tazz and he had great camaraderie. It could be seen as a promotion for Cole, as he gets to call a live show. I think he and Tazz would actually be a more ECW-esque commentary team than the current Styles and Tazz duo, despite their connection to the original.
Heat:
Joey Styles and Todd Grisham
-I thought these two worked really well together when they called Heat that one time. As Styles once said, Grisham has the kind of humour that could really make him a great colour guy. He's not too great in the calling of moves department, which is where Joey Styles comes in. They both blur the line between colour and play-by-play, really, so I can see them really helping each other fit in to the WWE style.
