Jonathan Coachman spent quite a few years in WWE but has been away from the company for a long time now with no indication he will return. That being said, Coachman has now claimed that Nia Jax disliked him and pushed for his removal from the RAW commentary team.
While speaking on the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, Jonathan Coachman talked about his second run with WWE and some issues he faced. He claimed Nia Jax hated him and pushed for Renee Paquette to take over his spot on the Monday Night RAW commentary team.
When Coachman returned to WWE after working at ESPN, he told Vince McMahon he had four golf events he couldnt miss. Vince initially agreed, but after Coachman missed his second event, Vince McMahon became frustrated. WWE brought in temporary replacements, including Renee, who eventually took over his role full-time.
Coachman mentioned that some people backstage werent happy about his return, and Nia Jax led the effort to have Renee Paquette replace him. He didnt know why Jax disliked him but believed her actions were a big part of the decision.
After leaving WWE in 2008, he made a comeback in January 2018 as a commentator for Raw. However,Coachman was replaced in September of that same year and has not been seen in WWE since. Coachman also confirmed that he has no intention of returning to WWE again and fans can understand why considering how his previous stint turned out for him.
