Mike Rome has been a part of 2016 and has worked across Raw, SmackDown, and WWE NXT as a broadcaster. This week, the former WWE 24/7 Champion shared a huge update from his personal life as he is officially now a father.
Rome (Austin Michael Romero) dropped a very special photo on Facebook this week, introducing the world to his new son.
If Rome were at work, an introduction for this new ‘competitor’ would sound something like this: “Weighing in at 7 pounds and 7 ounces, and 20 and a half inches of awesome, Salem James Romero!”
Congratulations to Mike Rome and his family on this joyous occasion!
Rome has been absent from WWE NXT as of late, with Alicia Taylor filling in for him on the gold brand. Rome moved back to NXT in May 2024 in order to be closer to his home in Orlando, Florida. He’d previously been announcing on SmackDown but now it’s Taylor’s voice fans can expect to hear every Friday night.
