One of the big stories over the weekend was Mauro Ranallo not taking part in Survivor Series. Michael Cole announced during the broadcast that Mauro blew his voice out doing NXT Takeover: WarGames.
The rumored reason for Mauro’s absence was not because of his voice but due to some Tweets that were sent out by Corey Graves, which criticized Mauro’s commentary style.
John Pollock of POST Wrestling has provided an update on the situation. He reports that Mauro is now not going to be announcing NXT this week.
Here is what Pollock wrote:
On the broadcast Sunday, it was stated by Michael Cole that Ranallo had blown out his voice the night prior, but we can confirm that was a cover reason for the real story. Cole added that they expected Ranallo to be back for this week’s episode of NXT.
POST Wrestling can confirm that Ranallo will not be calling NXT on Wednesday night at Full Sail University.
There has been communication over the past few days between Ranallo and those in the company but the decision was made that he would not be coming to the show this week.
It is unknown if Ranallo will be back for next week’s episode.
We will let you know if we hear anything more.
