For the past two weeks, WWE SmackDown LIVE lead play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranallo has missed two shows in a row that has many fans questioning why.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Ranallo may be dealing with an ongoing bout of depression, which he has suffered from going back to his teenage years and has spoken out about mental health in the past.

The report also states that friends close to Ranallo are stating that he’s doing much better and should be okay. There is no word yet on when he will return to the WWE commentary table for SmackDown LIVE.
