Corey Graves filling in for Pat McAfee on WWE Raw
With Pat McAfee not making the trip over to Brussels, there will be a change to the WWE Raw commentary team for this week.
PWInsider reports that Corey Graves will be filling in for McAfee on today’s Raw episode, calling the show alongside Michael Cole. The epiosde is taking place from Forest National in Brussels, Belgium and will air live on Netflix starting at 3 p.m. Eastern time. It’s the first of three straight Raws that will be airing in the afternoon on WWE’s European tour.
McAfee is in the United States hosting his ESPN show as usual today. Raw is in Glasgow next week and London the week after that, so it’s possible he will be missing one or both of those shows as well.
This is Graves’ first time back on main roster commentary since the social media posts he made in January voicing his displeasure at being moved to NXT. Graves missed one week of NXT commentary following that controversy, but the situation was resolved and he returned to his role broadcasting NXT with Vic Joseph & Booker T.
Today’s Raw is being built around John Cena’s first appearance since turning heel. Here is everything that’s been announced for the show:
- John Cena and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will be under the same roof
- Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker defends against Finn Balor
- WrestleMania contract signing for Women’s World Champion IYO SKY vs. Bianca Belair
- No DQ match: Penta vs. Ludwig Kaiser
- Jey Uso vs. Austin Theory
- Ivy Nile vs. Dakota Kai
- Seth Rollins appears
