Later in the podcast, Corey Graves discussed the toughest aspect of his new role on "WWE SmackDown" and how he has adapted to it.

"The hardest thing about making this transition so far is keeping my wit in check because as a human being, if there's a joke to be made, I'm there. It's just kind of ... it's a curse and a blessing," stated Graves. "But I've been able to still maintain a little bit of that flavor."

Graves also revealed that he was told by WWE management to be himself and find his voice, rather than be another Michael Cole. He believes that his chemistry with fellow commentator Wade Barrett is growing constantly, and feels that they have evolved together. 

"I was told right up front when I was offered this opportunity, 'We don't want you to be Michael Cole 2.0. We already have Michael Cole,'" recalled Graves. "I'm still finding my voice and Wade Barrett is a new partner for me. He's a guy I've developed chemistry with and been friendly with over the years, but as far as from a broadcast perspective, it's all brand new. So I'm learning on the job, on the fly, as he is. But I think the beautiful part is we can sort of gel and tweak one another together and evolve as a team and sort of be a little bit more complete while also being something fresh, something new that's never really been done before."

Barrett and Graves were paired together following the return of Pat McAfee to WWE, who is now alongside Cole on "WWE Raw."
