Tom Phillips’ reported WWE release caught the wrestling world by surprise and Mick Foley, Big E. and more took to social media to react. As reported earlier, Phillips has reportedly been released by the company for reasons unrelated to their current budgetary staff cuts. You can see posts by Foley, Big E., Dax Harwood, Matt Rehwoldt (Aiden English), Bronson Reed and more below.
WWE has yet to confirm Phillips’ release at this time.
I’m surprised to see that WWE let Tom Phillips let go.
I always enjoyed his announcing, and thought his chemistry with his fellow commentators was professional, informative and entertaining. Announcing in @WWE is not easy, and he did it very well. https://t.co/BkE3EBRwdf

Featured humans include Lucy, our ancient ancestor who died falling out of a tree, and Aztec leader Montezuma, who welcomed the Spanish conquistadors that would wipe out most of his empire.
