Jonathan Coachman Teases He'll Be at WWE "SummerSlam" for ESPN

It was back in 2008 when former announcer and commentator Jonathan “The Coach” Coachman left World Wrestling Entertainment to work for ESPN and become the host of “SportsCenter.”

The network has made it more of a priority to cover wrestling news this past year, with ESPN acknowledging Sting’s debut with the company, and UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey’s appearance at WrestleMania 31, for example.

Coachman recently teased on his Twitter account that he’ll be in Brooklyn for “SummerSlam” on Aug. 23, and that it could be for a special edition of “SportsCenter:”

So next weekend does anyone know of anything to do in Brooklyn. Don’t have anything on my schedule. No wait… Yes I do. #SS

“@JoshNASCARWWE: @TheCoachESPN Will we see you on air? The masses want to know!”-I’m not going just to be a spectator. #sportscenter. — Jonathan Coachman (@TheCoachESPN) August 16, 2015

Don’t hold your breath if you’re expecting Coachman to step between the ropes and compete in a match again, though. Those days are over.

“@minks_ryan: @TheCoachESPN will we see the Coach again in WWE ring? I think you need to make a comeback”-in ring no. Return possible.
