Brock Lesnar attacks WWE SmackDown commentary team
Brock Lesnar made a statement on the final SmackDown before Wrestlepalooza.
The open to Friday’s show saw Michael Cole meet Lesnar as he was making his way to the ring. Lesnar grabbed Cole and carried him into the ring, dropping him on the ground. He was about to go in for the attack when Corey Graves entered the ring and attempted to calm Lesnar down, causing Cole to flee the ring. Attempts to calm Lesnar down failed as he quickly laid out Graves with an F5, then followed with another after medical staff went to check on Graves. Lesnar yelled at Cena through the camera and told him he was coming for blood at Saturday’s Wrestlepalooza.
After the commercial break, Lesnar was seen walking to the back when he came across Paul Heyman, making his television return after selling a Roman Reigns attack at Clash in Paris. Lesnar told Heyman they’d have to talk before making his exit.
The Miz would eventually join Cole’s side to call the rest of the show.
Graves was initially a wrestler in NXT before retiring in 2014 due to concussion issues. Back in 2022, it was reported that Graves was cleared by WWE doctors and is no longer on WWE’s no-contact list. Despite this, Graves said at the time it wasn’t an immediate goal of his to get back into the ring.
