Report: Justin Roberts/Michael Cole Incident At RAW?

UPDATE x 2: As previously reported, WWE.com announced late last night following RAW that ring announcer Justin Roberts is no longer with the company, effective immediately.

According to numerous reports from fans who were at RAW last night, Justin Roberts was seen yelling at Michael Cole during the Randy Orton vs. Dolph Ziggler match. One fan also noted that he clearly saw Roberts looking “pissed off” throughout the night and flipped off Cole at one point. After RAW concluded, he was informed by Kevin Dunn that he would be released. For what it’s worth, several sources claim something definitely happened during or backstage at RAW and that led to Roberts being fired immediately following the show.

Justin Roberts is scheduled to be a guest on Chris Jericho’s podcast this Friday and you can expect them to discuss what led to his WWE departure.

UPDATE: As you’d imagine, many people were shocked by the WWE release of Justin Roberts. Roberts was well liked and many thought that online reports of his release were false.

Word is that Roberts was informed about his release after RAW ended last night.
