WWE broadcaster Jackie Redmond will not be appearing on Monday Night RAW this week as she fulfills her NHL coverage duties for TNT Sports.
Redmond, a backstage interviewer and on-air personality for WWE, also covers the National Hockey League for TNT. She is currently reporting from Montreal, where the NHL’s All-Star Weekend has transitioned into the new 4 Nations Faceoff tournament, which runs through February 20.
When asked by a fan on social media whether she would be absent from RAW this Monday, Redmond confirmed. “You assume correctly. No RAW for me this week. Got myself a #4Nations DOUBLE HEADER on TNT”
The tournament continues at Montreal’s Bell Centre through Saturday before shifting to Boston’s TD Garden next week. Monday’s matchups will feature Canada vs. Finland and Sweden vs. the United States.
Several of WWE’s top announcers hold jobs outside of professional wrestling, which creates scheduling conflicts. WWE Raw commentator Pat McAfee missed a recent episode due to call college football. Joe Tessitore will miss this week’s SmackDown to call the action for ESPN boxing from Madison Square Garden (Denys Berinchyk vs. Keyshawn Davis).
