Tom Phillips Angle Update

[Big Red Machine]

– WWE’s website posted a photo of Tom Phillips with a black eye due to the slaps he received from Stephanie McMahon on RAW last night. They’re also doing a storyline where Phillips refused to be at tonight’s Super SmackDown. They posted the following:

Following an incident on Monday Night Raw in which one of the principal owners of WWE, Stephanie McMahon, struck announcer Tom Phillips, WWE.com has learned that the broadcaster will not be present tonight at SuperSmackDown LIVE on USA Network.

Phillips departed Minneapolis for his home this morning. While he did allow WWE.com to take a picture of his face before taking his leave – clearly showing the effects from the incident – he refused to comment on the situation at this time.

The Billion Dollar Princess viciously slapped Phillips to the floor Moinday night after he asked her for a reaction to the flagship show’s Steel Cage main event. She was upset over Sheamus and The League of Nations’ failure to get her payback on Roman Reigns for his recent attacks on both WWE COO Triple H and the Chairman of the Board, Mr. McMahon.

I like that they are actually doing something with this, but I'm afraid it won't actually go anywhere.

i'm afraid we're going to go into another 'dangerous workplace' story like the walkout some yrs back, and Vince will come back and tell Steph that the board has decided to remove her from power and Daniel Bryan is the new GM and i won't care a hoot about any of this

Hey... if it means less Authority on TV and more Bryan on TV, I'll take it.

As long as he doesn't end up in an actual match.
This should be brief or the set-up for something. This should not be its own angle.

Because no-one cares about Tom Phillips.
