The fact Mauro Ranallo was not on SmackDown announcing duties this past Tuesday evening was noticed by various folks, even if his travel plans were derailed by Winter Storm Stella.
Former WWE commentators, including Taz and Josh Matthews chimed in on Ranallo missing the showing, adding that they were able to make shows in similar weather conditions.
With @OfficialTAZ in the car, I once drove us 2 days to Indianapolis to make a TAPED Smackdown show from NYC. #JustSayin'

Is Tom Phillips one step closer to taking Mauro Ranallo’s job? Is this needless announcing drama? Weigh in guys…
