In professional wrestling commentary, few voices resonate as deeply as that of Mauro Ranallo. With a career spanning multiple promotions and combat sports, Ranallo has become synonymous with passion, knowledge, and unparalleled enthusiasm behind the microphone.
Having traversed the indie wrestling scene from a young age, Ranallo’s journey led him through the halls of Stampede Wrestling, NJPW, WWE, TNA, and beyond.
His distinctive voice and comprehensive understanding of combat sports saw him grace the airwaves of PRIDE, Bellator MMA, Strikeforce, and Showtime Boxing, among others, carving out a unique niche in the broadcasting world.
However, the wrestling community has been bereft of Ranallo’s commentary since his departure from TNA Rebellion in 2021, marking his second exit from World Wrestling Entertainment merely eight months prior.
Yet, recent reports from Fightful Select suggest that the wrestling world may soon witness the return of this esteemed commentator.
Amidst his current commitments with Showtime Boxing and Bellator MMA, Ranallo has engaged in discussions with Major League Wrestling (MLW), indicating a potential resurgence in his wrestling commentary career.
While no finalized agreement has been reached as of now, the mutual interest between Ranallo and MLW speaks volumes, especially considering Ranallo’s prior collaboration with MLW Founder & CEO Court Bauer on a Strikeforce project.
Ranallo’s impact on the wrestling landscape cannot be overstated. Upon joining WWE in 2015, he made history as the first sports broadcaster to call pro wrestling, MMA, boxing, and kickboxing on U.S. national television, solidifying his status as a versatile and multifaceted commentator.
Despite his departure from WWE in 2020, Ranallo’s friendship with Triple H endures, with the Chief Content Officer expressing admiration and camaraderie towards him during a media call in 2021.
