Mauro Ranallo Not at NXT Tapings

Mauro Ranallo was not on commentary at tonight’s NXT tapings for an unknown reason, meaning that he won’t be on NXT TV for at least the next four weeks.

He was replaced by Vic Joseph, who was alongside Nigel McGuinness and Percy Watson.

Mauro said on Sunday that he was looking to do MMA commentary full time, but added that he is still with NXT and Showtime Boxing.

Dear MMA promoters, I have called some of the most memorable moments in the sport and would love to continue doing so full time in 2019. Please contact my manager @frankshamrock if interested in my services! #MMAuro 👊🙏

FYI, I am still with @ShowtimeBoxing & @WWENXT I need to fill my #MMA calendar with a worthy promotion in 2019. THANKS!

Chelsea Green

Chelsea Green, formerly Laurel Van Ness in Impact, was backstage at the NXT tapings tonight, but didn’t appear on the show.

She has been training at the WWE Performance Center, leading to speculation that she has signed a contract with WWE. She was part of a WWE tryout in June.
