Brock Lesnar Attacks Corey Graves with Two F5s

Friday’s WWE SmackDown show at the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio featured Brock Lesnar attacking SmaclDown commentator Corey Graves and Graves being pulled from rest of the show due to his “injuries”

At the start of the show, Michael Cole announced that he was heading backstage to conduct an interview with Lesnar about Lesnar’s match against John Cena at Wrestlepalooza. As Cole was making his way to the back, Lesnar came out and grabbed Cole and carried him around the ring before tossing him in it.

Lesnar then confronted Cole in the corner leading to Graves running into the ring trying to get Lesnar away from Cole to no avail. Lesnar responded by hitting an F5 to Graves laying him out. Lesnar then grabbed one of the cameras and yelled at it saying that he’s coming for Cena.

This led to WWE officials running out to tend to Graves as Lesnar was leaving only for Lesnar to get right back into the ring and hit another F5 to Graves.

This is CHAOS! 😱

WWE Women’s Title Triple Threat Match Set for Next Week’s Show Card

Friday’s WWE SmackDown show also featured two new matches announced for the card of next week’s show on September 26th at the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida.

Among the notable new matches annoucned was a WWE Women’s Championship Triple Threat match of Nia Jax vs. Jade Cargill vs. Tiffany Stratton (c).

This new match was initially setup over recent weeks shows over Jax, Cargill, and Stratton’s bad blood issues with each other. During tonight’s show, Jax came out and proceeded to boast about her being the alpha of the women’s division and mocked both Stratton and Cargill. This led to Stratton coming out and after some insults directed at Jax and Cargill, she made her way down to the ring only to be stopped by Cargill who ran out followed by WWE officials to break up any potential brawl. This led to SmackDown GM Nick Aldis coming out and announced that Stratton would be defending her title next week against both Jax and Cargill.
