Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Dio Maddin will not be returning to the Raw commentary team. 

As you're likely aware ... Maddin has not appeared on WWE TV since last month when he was attacked by Brock Lesnar during Raw. It had been reported that this was to sell the attack from Brock, but Editor-in-Chief Ryan Satin first reported on WWE Backstage that Dio still has aspirations of becoming a WWE Superstar, therefore he's returning to the WWE Performance Center to continue training with the top coaches in the business.

Filling the vacant position in his place will be Samoa Joe, who will sit in on commentary until Joe is cleared for in-ring action.

As for who will take the position permanently once Joe gets the green light from doctors, that’s still unclear at this point in time.
