Popular WWE French commentary duo forced to split due to contractual obligations

Popular WWE French commentary duo Christophe Agius and Philippe Chéreau will no longer be calling future shows together and this week’s Raw was the final time they did commentary for a WWE show, for now.

The two men, who are treated like gods by WWE fans in France and as evident by their appearances at recent French PLEs, have to split up because of contractual obligations which are preventing Chéreau from continuing his work on Netflix.

Starting tomorrow, WWE programming moves to Netflix in France and Chéreau also does commentary for other sports on stations owned by Mediawan, which complicates things legally.

Agius will continue doing commentary but for the first time in 25 years, he will not have his “television dad” with him by his side.

The two shared a very emotional farewell message following the last Raw, with Chéreau saying it was very tough to film.

“There won’t be a next episode for me, maybe one day, but not now,” Chéreau said. “Would have loved to, should have made it, but so it goes.”
