Former Announcer Returning to the WWE?


Reportedly, the WWE is close to reaching a deal with Jonathan Coachman. They ideally would want him to host in-studio wrap-up shows and possibly even a talk show. On Twitter a few days ago, Coachman tweeted out that he had a “cool” announcement for WWE fans next month in regards to something happening this Summer. He will still work for ESPN if this happens as the WWE gig is a part-time deal.
