Whatever happened to former WWE announcer Mauro Ranallo?

Mauro Ranallo made a name for himself in WWE after capturing the hearts of the WWE Universe with his emotional and relatable commentary on both NXT and the main roster.

Ranallo was an incredible addition to the commentary booth on SmackDown in 2015 and just months later he made such an impression that he was dubbed "The Voice of SmackDown."

Ranallo was joined by several faces behind the desk as part of his two years on SmackDown including Jerry Lawler, Byron Saxton, Michael Cole, Tom Phillips, David Otunga, and John "Bradshaw" Layfield.

Ranallo left SmackDown in 2017 and instead made his way to NXT where his passion finally found the perfect pairing alongside the loyal Full Sail crowd.

It was a perfect match that worked for the star for almost three years, until he announced his departure from WWE in August 2020.
