Corey Graves is back where it all started for him: NXT.
Graves returned to the brand last night at the New Year’s
Evil show on CW, joining Vic Joseph and Booker T in a three-
man commentary team.
Up until last week, Graves was doing Smackdown commentary
with Michael Cole but Cole has moved to Raw with Pat McAfee
while Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett have moved to
Smackdown.
Graves was an NXT wrestler before a career-ending injury
forced him to take on a new role with the company. He
started commentary in 2014 before he moved to the main
roster three years later.
With NXT now on network television and on Netflix everywhere
else in the world, there will be a bigger effort in trying
to present the brand as more than just a developmental
property.
