News On Mauro Ranallo and Corey Graves Situation

Mauro Ranallo missed Sunday’s WWE’s Survivor Series pay-per-view due to some tweets made by SmackDown color commentator Corey Graves.

Ranallo deleted his Twitter account after Graves tweeted during Saturday’s NXT Takeover: WarGames event that Ranallo did not allow fellow commentators Beth Phoenix or Nigel McGuinness to talk enough, writing, “Just for the record guys, I know you wouldn’t know it, but there’s actually a WWE Hall of Famer AND a former Ring of Honor Champion on commentary. I’d imagine they have a lot to offer.” The tweet is still live.

Graves responded to another Twitter user asking how many Chicago rap references Ranallo had made, to which Graves replied, “Far, far too many.”

According to the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reports that Ranallo has not quit WWE. Everything is said to be fine between Ranallo and WWE, and from Ranallo’s side, he will be back on commentary this Wednesday for NXT.

To explain Graves’ absence from the Survivor Series, Michael Cole mentioned during the show that Ranallo was so passionate about Saturday night’s NXT TakeOver: WarGames event that he blew his voice out.

Cole ended up replacing Ranallo and calling the bout between Adam Cole and Pete Dunne for the NXT Championship. According to Meltzer, WWE was not happy with Graves, although he ended up on commentary later in the night.

Mia Yim Replaced By Dakota Kai In WWE NXT WarGames Match Tonight

There was an injury angle on tonight’s WWE NXT “Takeover: WarGames 2019” Pre-show that saw Mia Yim suffer an injury after a backstage attack by a mystery attacker. Team Captain Rhea Ripley later talked Dakota Kai into replacing Yim.

Yim legitimately suffered a broken nose during her Ladder Match loss to Io Shirai last Wednesday, so that could be why she was pulled.

NXT Women’s War Games Match Set For TakeOver

The first NXT Women’s War Games match has been set!

The match was announced by William Regal on last night’s NXT following Tegan Nox and Dakota Kai’s title shot against the Kabuki Warriors.

Following a losing effort, Shayna Baszler and crew hit the ring to taunt Team Kick. Tegan fought back though and a brawl ensued. This led to Rhea Ripley making the save, but Io Shirai cut her off. Candice LeRae and Bianca Belair joined the action at that point and chaos broke out.

William Regal then appeared as they were all being separated and said, “I’ve got a very simple solution for this … WAR GAMES!”

The exact teams were not finalized – so it’s unclear how many competitors will be in the match – but the segment ended with LeRae, Ripley, Nox and Kai staring down Baszler, Jessamyn Duke, Marina Shafir, Io Shirai and Bianca Belair. Baszler & Ripley were later named as Team Captains, with more info to come from CBS Sports.

NXT TakeOver: War Games is set to take place November 23.

Watch the announcement below.
