– Mauro Ranallo became more active on Twitter again this week after he recently disappeared from WWE TV.

Ranallo has also reportedly been dealing with his bi-polar disorder.
In a recent tweet, Ranallo posted a quote from Buddha, saying how the truth cannot be hidden. The tweet seems to be a response to the recent rumors regarding him and JBL. JBL has also been the subject of controversy this week due to claims he stole Justin Roberts’ passport and routinely harassed and terrorized other workers in WWE. You can read more about that HERE.
