At Tuesday's Smackdown! tapings, new play-by-play broadcaster Mauro Ranallo was truant from his post. Rather, Michael Cole filled in, rejoining the Raw report group of Cole, Jerry Lawler, and Byron Saxton.
Numerous fans were anxious this snappy turn around flagged debacle for the WWE profession of Ranallo, whose master editorial has been seen as a much needed refresher. It was particularly unsettling given that the generally Twitter-accommodating supporter was quiet despite fan questions with respect to his status on Smackdown!
Thankfully, Ranallo's position with WWE is protected. By (and later, Ranallo himself by means of Twitter), the 2015 Wrestling Observer Newsletter TV Announcer of the Year was hit with an instance of this season's cold virus. He appeared to Tuesday's Smackdown! tapings in Ontario, CA willing to work, however when administration surveyed his condition, they chose he would be ideally serviced by about-facing home to get some rest.
"The Voice of Smackdown!" expressed gratitude toward his fans for their worry and noticed that he's "still in bed yet showing signs of improvement." Hopefully, the acclaimed broadcaster will be back at his post one week from now when Smackdown! hails from Indianapolis, IN.
