Former WWE announcer Jonathan Coachman is set to make his return to the world of professional wrestling.
The Coach initially worked for WWE between 1999 and 2008, starting as a backstage interviewer and eventually becoming a commentator. He later transitioned into an on-screen authority role, acting as the hapless assistant for both RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff and Chairman Vince McMahon during the mid-2000s. Coachman returned to WWE in 2016, working as a color commentator on RAW before leaving the post in 2018.
It appears that The Coach is returning to pro wrestling this June, but not as a part of WWE. Instead, the veteran personality will be on commentary duties for new promotion Wrestling Entertainment Series, alongside IMPACT Wrestling announcer Matt Rehwoldt (FKA Aiden English in WWE).
