News & Notes: Graves/Phillips, Jericho, Lawler, Off-Air SmackDown Matches

Corey Graves and Tom Phillips

On last night’s 205 Live, Corey Graves poked fun at Tom Phillips about a recent “scandal” where a woman he was “sexting” posted his messages online.

Graves: “It’s not like Dar was sending DMs on Instagram to people that he shouldn’t have been… There’s nothing embarrassing about what he’s done.”

Jerry Lawler

Jerry Lawler said on his podcast, Dinner With The King, that he was disappointed in the House of Horrors match at Payback, saying:

“I was so looking forward to the House of Horrors match because I’m such a big horror movie fan. I’m such a fan of these kind of things. I was really, really excited about this. The WWE, they have the opportunity and they have the people to put together some really great special effects. I guess my problem was I got my expectations up too high. I guess I expected more scary stuff. I’m not scared of baby dolls.”

After 205 Live last night, there was a six man tag dark match with Randy Orton, Nakamura and AJ Styles defeating Jinder Mahal, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan.
