WWE.com posted the following article, updating a storyline incident on RAW after Stephanie McMahon slapped announcer Tom Phillips.

WWE says Phillips would go home and not appear on Smackdown, but allowed them to take a picture of the black eye he received as a result. 

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.

Check back to WWE.com for any updates as they become available.
