JD McDonagh Fires Back at Corey Graves for ‘Minecraft Skull’ Comment – JD McDonagh didn’t take kindly to a recent joke made at his expense on WWE RAW and used social media to fire back—targeting Corey Graves and bringing Pat McAfee into the mix.
During McDonagh’s match against AJ Styles on RAW, Corey Graves took a light-hearted jab on commentary, saying, “It’s not JD’s fault he was born with the skull of a Minecraft character.” The remark played off a long-running joke among WWE Superstars and fans regarding McDonagh’s unusually shaped head, something he’s been mocked for both on-screen and off.
But McDonagh didn’t let it slide. In a now-viral Instagram Story, he responded with a sarcastic dig aimed squarely at Graves’ own situation. “It’s also not my fault you get relegated every time Pat McAfee is available on a Monday,” McDonagh wrote, referencing the recent reshuffling of WWE’s commentary teams.
Following WWE’s transition to Netflix earlier this year, Pat McAfee rejoined RAW alongside Michael Cole, leading to Corey Graves being reassigned to NXT. The move reportedly caused some frustration for Graves at the time, which he seemingly acknowledged with a now-deleted tweet that many interpreted as throwing shade at McAfee.
While internal sources have since indicated that Graves and WWE have moved past the reshuffle, JD McDonagh used the moment to keep his heel character sharp by flipping the Minecraft insult into a reminder of Graves’ demotion.
The exchange, though likely playful in tone, adds another layer of realism to McDonagh’s persona, and shows that the Judgment Day member isn’t afraid to fire back—even at the commentary team.
