1) Absences On Commentary
This weeks episode of Smackdown Live featured 2 notable omissions from the announce team. Instead of the usual 4 man crew, there was only 2 behind the desk: Tom Phillips and JBL.
Tom announced after the first segment that David Otunga was off filming a movie and Mauro Ranallo was snowed in due to the storm.
Tweets from Mauro the night before confirm it:
@mauroranallo See you tomorrow night in Pittsburgh, so excited!!!! ?

Maybe. Snow may stop that from happening. https://t.co/Smd7zAQ7i8

Sorry to all the fans that got their hopes up that Otunga was fired or WWE was going back to the two-man commentary booth.
Tom and JBL did a solid job throughout the night.
