The SmackDown Live commentary team is normally a four man team, but this week JBL and Tom Phillips handled commentary all on their own. The East Coast was hit with a big snow storm this week and PWInsider is reporting that Mauro Ranallo was unable to make it to the SmackDown taping in Pittsburgh, PA because of the weather.
Maybe. Snow may stop that from happening. https://t.co/Smd7zAQ7i8

SmackDown Live definitely wasn’t the same without Mauro Ranallo and judging from the reactions to his tweet, it looks like the fans missed him.

This week on Raw, Stephanie McMahon told Mick Foley that he would have to fire someone before the show ended. Foley then met Stephanie in the ring and announced that he had decided to fire her. That didn’t go over too well for Foley, as Stephanie told him that he doesn’t have the authority to fire her, and she later hit him with a low blow after Foley applied the Mandible Claw to Triple H.
Foley recently commented on the segment on Facebook by saying that this week’s episode of Raw is one that he will remember for a long time.
Mick Foley also recently shared the trailer for the upcoming professional wrestling themed romantic comedy titled “Chokeslam” which he appears in. According to Foley, the star of the film Amanda Crew gave up her lunch hour to work with him in the ring and listen to stories about the professional wrestling business. The Raw General Manager says her effort made a big impression on him, and you can check out the trailer for “Chokeslam” below.
