Corey Graves announced before NXT TakeOver that he would be “stepping down” as the announcer for NXT, saying he has “a lot of responsibilities within the WWE universe and [he] can’t do it all at once.”

It was also announced that he would be replaced by Nigel McGuinness, who was the announcer alongside Michael Cole on the WWE UK Championship Tournament.
