About Byron Saxton

Bryan Jesús Kelly (born August 20, 1981), better known by the ring name Byron Saxton, is an American professional wrestling commentator, ring announcer, and former professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he works as a backstage interviewer on Raw, and also serves as a ring announcer for its live events. Kelly signed with WWE in 2007 as a wrestler and was a "rookie" on the fourth and fifth seasons of NXT. Following his elimination on the latter season of NXT, he began working as a play-by-play and color commentator on NXT before eventually working on other WWE programming including the company's flagship shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown. He is also a former one-time WWE 24/7 Champion. When Josh Mathews left FCW to commentate on ECW full-time, Saxton began working as a commentator alongside first Dusty Rhodes and then Abraham Washington. Earlier that night, Saxton won the karaoke challenge, earning a point towards immunity from elimination. Kelly, at first using his real name, made his FCW debut on October 13, 2007, losing to Hade Vansen.
