Corey Graves has long been a prominent voice in WWE, known for his sharp commentary and insightful analysis. However, recent events have shed light on a possible shift in his morale, particularly following a significant change in his role. The relationship between Graves and WWE seemingly soured after he was moved from Raw to NXT due to the return of Pat McAfee to the announce booth. Graves’s dissatisfaction became evident as he appeared visibly upset during his first return to NXT last week, raising eyebrows among fans and colleagues alike.
Reports indicate that Graves has been struggling with dissatisfaction regarding his position within the organization, stirring speculation about his future. According to journalist Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, the situation is complex. “He (Corey Graves) was genuinely unhappy. Now why you would go on Twitter and do all this? I can’t answer that question. There are people there who think that he was trying to get fired and that’s why he did it. If he was trying to get fired, they probably aren’t gonna fire him, because I don’t think they want him going to AEW if they give him a release. They could also suspend him, which maybe they’ve done for all we know. It doesn’t have to be announced that they’ve suspended him.”
Graves’s move to NXT was intended as an opportunity to revitalize the brand’s commentary but has instead led to speculation about his future and level of contentment. The potential fallout of this situation raises important questions about how WWE will manage Graves’s apparent discontent. Will the company seek to address his concerns, or might they allow the situation to escalate further?
The speculation surrounding Graves’s intentions adds another layer of intrigue. Fans wonder whether he might be plotting a departure from WWE, possibly with an eye toward opportunities in AEW. How WWE responds to his frustrations could significantly impact Graves’s career trajectory in the coming months. For now, the wrestling world waits with bated breath to see what unfolds regarding Corey Graves’s future in the business.
