There has been a lot of talk about Smackdown Live’s Mauro Ranallo and his status with the WWE moving forward. Mauro has not been on WWE television over the past several weeks and WWE fans are consistently asking why he isn’t on Smackdown Live anymore.

We posted a rumor a few days ago that said because of some of the activity on Mauro’s social media accounts, it looks like he is leaving WWE.
According to a new report from CBS Sports, it looks like Mauro leaving is all but confirmed.
CBS reports that Mauro is not scheduled to appear on WWE TV for the remainder of his contract with the company. In a statement from WWE, his contract runs out in August of 2017.
Since rumors have began circulating Mauro has tweeted a lot of non-wrestling projects that he will be involved in.

Dave Meltzer speculated that he could see Mauro commentating for New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2018, but that is only speculation on his part:
I expect that in 2018 but who knows https://t.co/Luh5thB6WZ
