Corey Graves Reportedly Pulled from NXT Commentary for Tonight’s WWE NXT Episode

As noted before, WWE commentator Corey Graves recently voiced out his frustrations on social media over being removed from WWE’s main roster commentary teams and moved over to NXT’s commentary team due to him being told “he was not famous enough for his own job”.

Graves provided an update earlier today on Twitter stating that he would have a lot to say about the situation on tonight’s NXT show.

I’ve got a lot to say.

Don’t miss #WWENXT tonight on @TheCW
TONIGHT.

🎤 🔥

PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that his sources stated that Graves will not be appearing on tonight’s NXT show.

Johnson reported that Graces was spotted this afternoon at the Orlando Airport preparing to leave the city.

Johnson also reported that those spoken to stated that there had been word going around within WWE for the past week that Graves was not happy with being bumped off RAW and SmackDown’s commentary teams and moved to NXT to be the third man alongside Vic Joseph and Booker T.

The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer reported that those spoken to close to the situation stated that Graves’ situation is not a work and instead was a legitimate outburst by Graves. Meltzer reported that Graves’ exact status is currently not known but if he is released soon, then it would confirm that it wasn’t a work after all.

Graves’ brother and wrestler Sam Adonis claimed on Twitter that Graves’ current situation is not a “work.”

Not A Work… 🫢🫣
