Mauro Ranallo Sent Home from WWE SmackDown Tapings with the Flu

– As noted, Michael Cole replaced Mauro Ranallo as the lead announcer for last night’s WWE SmackDown tapings in Anaheim, California.

There were rumors that Mauro missed SmackDown due to MMA fighter Kevin Randleman’s funeral but that’s not the case, according to Mauro on Twitter. He tweeted the following, noting that he was sent home from SmackDown with the flu:

I appreciate the concern. I was sent home from Smackdown taping suffering from the flu. Still in bed but getting better. THANKS!
