There may have been No Mercy this week, but there was plenty of news!

#5 Michael Cole will miss RAW

The voice of WWE will be absent from RAW, this week!

If Jim Ross is the voice of the Attitude Era, Michael Cole is the voice of modern day WWE and is an indispensable part of sports entertainment. He has been employed by the company for over twenty years now and will be missing RAW for the second time in this duration.

According to WWE, he will be attending his son's wedding and therefore, he will not be present for the show. Instead, it will be SmackDown Live play-by-play announcer, Tom Phillips, who will handle play-by-play commentary duties.
