Cole & Saxton in Japan?
According to a few different reports, Michael Cole and Byron Saxton were not live in Japan for this weekend’s ‘Beast in the East’ live special at Sumo Hall in Japan. Instead, the two did live commentary from WWE headquarters in Stamford, CT.
Given that only one of the shows were broadcast on the WWE Network and the rest were pure live events with no commentary necessary, it just didn’t make sense to fly them out for the tour, work one show, then fly them back before Cole heads up three hours of RAW on Monday.
