Backstage News on Corey Graves’ WWE Status – Corey Graves made his debut as part of the WWE NXT commentary team at the New Year’s Evil special, surprising fans after spending years on the main roster. Highly regarded for his sharp wit and insightful commentary, Graves now joins Vic Joseph and Booker T behind the desk for NXT broadcasts.
This move follows a series of commentary team shake-ups across WWE programming. Pat McAfee and Michael Cole are now the voices of RAW, while Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett handle duties on SmackDown. However, McAfee is expected to take another hiatus later this year when he resumes his role on ESPN’s College Gameday.
According to a report from PWInsider, Graves is no longer part of SmackDown and is slated to continue appearing on NXT next week. While it remains unclear how long this arrangement will last, it appears NXT will be his commentary home at least through the early part of 2025.
Graves’ move adds an intriguing dynamic to the NXT broadcast team. His experience and chemistry with Vic Joseph could enhance the overall presentation, while his exchanges with Booker T bring an extra layer of energy to the show.
Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Graves’ presence will influence NXT’s storytelling and match commentary moving forward. For now, his return to the black-and-gold brand marks another interesting chapter in the ongoing evolution of WWE’s commentary landscape.
