Backstage news on Mauro Ranallo’s WWE return, video of his NXT debut last night

Mauro Ranallo made his WWE return last night and joined Nigel McGuinness and Percy Watson on the NXT announce team. On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that WWE had been trying to get Ranallo back since around April 20th this year. Mauro’s last appearance on SmackDown was on March 14th. Ranallo left SmackDown because he was dealing with depression and rumored backstage issues with JBL.

Meltzer stated that Ranallo is now on NXT and that “he’s on a show that most of the people that run WWE production don’t go to. So that is kind of the key right there. So he is in a different world, working the Orlando shows and the TakeOvers and not the high pressure shows, so to speak. It is a lot of tapings during the middle of the week”.

Ranallo’s new deal to announce for NXT is a new multi-year contract. Mauro made his NXT debut last night and was introduced as the “Bipolar Rock n Roller!” by Triple H. You can check that out in the video below.
