- Planters began a new marketing campaign on Wednesday by announcing that Mr. Peanut, their beloved snack food spokes-legume, has passed away at the age of 104. This looks to be the setup for a Super Bowl 54 commercial that will air next month.
As seen below, WWE posted video of NXT announcers Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness and WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix paying respects to Mr. Peanut before last night's NXT episode hit the air.
