Huge Loss for WWE! Long time WWE Commentator Parts Ways

After Renee Young, another Canadian announcer has mutually parted ways with the WWE. Mauro Ranallo is a well-known name in the pro wrestling world and loved by the WWE Universe.

WWE recently released a statement on their website regarding Ranallo’s departure. Here is what the company had to say.

“WWE and Mauro Ranallo have mutually and amicably agreed to part ways. Mauro’s passion and enthusiasm left an indelible and exciting mark with WWE and its fans, and we wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

Mauro Ranallo also released a statement on Facebook. He thanked WWE for letting him live his dream of working in sports entertainment.

“I appreciate the opportunity I had to realize my childhood dream of working in sports entertainment, and I wish WWE well in the future. Now I want to direct my focus and devote my time to my other projects and to my mental health charitable activities and the well-being of my mother and myself.”

Ranallo was an independent contractor in the WWE. This helped him work for combat sports even though he was a part of NXT. If one remembers clearly, Ranallo was absent at NXT Takeover: XXX. Ranallo wasn’t even on the previous edition of NXT’s weekly episode.

According to rumors, Ranallo has many family issues to deal with. This is one of the key reasons former Nexus leader Wade Barrett came in for NXT last week. There are good chances that Barrett will become a full-time commentator with the brand.

Mauro Ranallo leaves WWE for the second time

Mauro Ranallo was a part of SmackDown back in 2017. Ranallo was absent from WWE commentary in the March 2017 edition of SmackDown and also missed WrestleMania 33.

After initial rumors about him having beef with JBL, Ranallo himself clarified the truth. The illustrious commentator was overwhelmed with the volume of work and travel associated with the WWE.  Resultantly, he decided to take a break from the promotion.

On April 22, 2017, WWE reported that Mauro Ranallo and WWE had mutually agreed to part ways. However, the Canadian announcer later agreed to work for NXT which had a much lighter schedule. Ranallo also further revealed in a statement his departure had “nothing to do with JBL.”

Speculations will certainly be rife about his future move.
