Mauro Ranallo Misses Smackdown Again; Speculation On His Status

Submitted by Jeff Whalen on
  • WWE commentator Mauro Ranallo missed Smackdown LIVE again last night, with the company claiming that his absence this week was due to an illness.

  • Previously, it was stated that he missed the 3/14 edition of the show due to the weather, but it was reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that that reason was actually not true, though no further details were given.

  • This may not be related to his absence, but Ranallo has gone public in the past about his battle with bi-polar disorder and while he is usually also active on Twitter, he hasn't tweeted anything in over a week. At that time, he tweeted about possibly missing Smackdown due to the weather.
