Ex-WWE Champion Replaced On SmackDown Due To Injury

WWE has announced the injury of a former champion on SmackDown.

Last Saturday, Brock Lesnar squared off with John Cena at Wrestlepalooza. The Beast Incarnate squashed The Never Seen 17 to earn his first victory after returning to WWE.

A day earlier, Lesnar appeared on SmackDown and attempted to attack Michael Cole. Former NXT Tag Team Champion and current SmackDown color commentator Corey Graves rushed to his partner’s aid. However, The Beast Incarnate turned his attention to him and took him out with two devastating F5s.

As Graves was taken backstage to receive medical attention, The Miz came out to replace him as commentator alongside Michael Cole for the rest of the show.
