Tom Phillips, real name Thomas Hannifan was part of Raw’s commentary team until the episode after WrestleMania. After that, he would lose his seat to Adnan Virk, who had been hired on the recommendation of Nick Khan. However, with Virk not working out and departing the company, instead of Hannifan returning to Raw, WWE gave the role to MMA commentator Jimmy Smith and subsequently released Hannifan.
Now though, Hannifan is returning to the announce desk for another pro wrestling promotion. As according to a tweet by Renee Paquette, he will be performing play-by-play for Impact Wrestling on this Saturday night’s Hard To Kill pay-per-view.
Impact Wrestling recently let go of Matt Striker, who had been carrying out this role, and Hannifan will likely be seen as a popular alternate. Hopefully, though, everything goes well for Hannifan, who certainly has a tough job ahead of him calling a show for a product he likely isn’t overly familiar with.
