Brock Lesnar Brutalizes Retired WWE Star; Sends Chilling Message To John Cena On SmackDown Ahead Of Wrestlepalooza
The go-home edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown is taking place live from the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio, and Brock Lesnar just sent a chilling message to his rival, John Cena.
The WWE Universe saw announcer Michael Cole head back to the ring when The Beast Incarnate popped up from backstage. He interrupted Cole and carried him back to the ring.
NOT MICHAEL COLE!
Put him down, Brock Lesnar! 😡 pic.twitter.com/i9MIn7JXFl

Brock Lesnar Takes Out Corey Graves on SmackDown
As it looked like Lesnar was about to maul Cole, Corey Graves sacrificed himself to save his friend, facing the wrath of The Beast himself. He angered The Beast, and The Beast retaliated with two brutal F5s.
It was a clear warning to John Cena of what’s coming for him at Wrestlepalooza tomorrow when he stands across Brock Lesnar for his singles match. Cena has already had his last SmackDown appearance, so unfortunately, he wasn’t present on the Friday Night Show to defend the announcers.
It will be interesting to see if Cena will receive the same fate as poor Corey Graves did tonight.
