WWE has already figured out who will be replacing John Bradshaw Layfield on Tuesday nights. For those of you that missed it, JBL announced on Friday that he was leaving Smackdown Live to dedicate more time to his charitable efforts in Bermuda. For more on the backstage story regarding JBL’s departure, click here.
WWE has announced that Corey Graves will take his spot. Graves was already at the Smackdown tapings every week since he was the color commentator on 205 Live so it only made sense to use him on the main show. Nigel McGuinness will take Graves’ spot on 205 Live and WWE Main Event.
BREAKING: @WWEGraves will take over for @JCLayfield on #SDLive starting tomorrow; @McGuinnessNigel will step in for #205Live and #MainEvent!
