Graves vented his frustrations on social media then later teased that he would have a lot to say during this week’s episode of NXT. However, Graves it was then reported that Graves had been pulled from the show.
Former WWE announcer Jonathan Coachman recently commented on the situation on social media, and he recalled how he and other commentators were often moved around during their time with the company when he posted the following:
“So Corey is upset for being bumped from the main announce roster. Happened to JR 5 times. Happened to Cole multiple times. Happened to me multiple times. He is right he is really good at his job. But playing in the sandbox a little bit better might not hurt next time.
Embrace whatever role you have and understand that you are lucky to have it. There are only 3-5 of these jobs at the highest level. Who knows maybe they asked him to be a part of a 3 man booth. We know he doesn’t like that. lol. Sorry had to. Last line a joke. The rest it’s the wrestling business. It happens.”
