Corey Graves will replace Pat McAfee on commentary during this week’s historic Monday Night Raw broadcast from Brussels, Belgium. McAfee is staying in the United States to fulfill his ESPN commitments while WWE makes its rare appearance in Belgium.
WWE has confirmed Graves will join Michael Cole at the announce desk for tonight’s international broadcast. Graves has extensive experience as a commentator, having previously worked on both Raw and SmackDown throughout his broadcasting career.
Tonight’s Raw will air live at 3 PM ET on Netflix and features a lineup including John Cena’s return and Seth Rollins addressing Roman Reigns’ attack. The broadcast will also showcase an Intercontinental Championship match with Bron Breakker defending against Finn Balor.
Additional matches scheduled for the show include Dakota Kai versus Ivy Nile, a No Holds Barred contest between Penta and Ludwig Kaiser, Jey Uso facing Austin Theory, and a contract signing between IYO SKY and Bianca Belair.
This marks one of the rare occasions where McAfee has missed a Raw broadcast since joining the commentary team. His energetic style and chemistry with Cole have become signature elements of WWE’s flagship program in recent months.
