NXT was the last pro wrestling show Mauro called as he parted ways with WWE and the black and gold brand in August 2020. His appearance at IMPACT’s PPV Rebellion will be the first in pro wrestling for him after a year.
Speaking about his return to pro wrestling, Ranallo said, “Swann vs Omega, champion vs champion, title vs title – this match represents everything I love about professional wrestling.”
A full-time return to calling pro-wrestling action?
Getting Mauro Ranallo for their PPV is a huge bonus for IMPACT Wrestling. Although this appearance on commentary is just a one-off, it could very well become a full-time contract in IMPACT or even AEW!
If Mauro is interested to get back to calling pro wrestling action, then AEW would be the frontrunners to get him on board. Tony Khan’s promotion has some strong names on commentary, but we’re sure Excalibur can be moved to make way for Mauro Ranallo.

IMPACT Wrestling is another prospect, but would they be willing to shell out the cash for Mauro? If they can, it would be a very big addition to their broadcast team.
He and Matt Striker would sound good together, and make IMPACT Wrestling sound more interesting and fun to the casual viewer as well.

This seems like the season of broadcast changes in pro wrestling. WWE shuffled their broadcast teams and even announced the addition of NFL Star Pat McAfee to the SmackDown commentary team. Either way, let’s see how these several commentary changes/additions work out.
