Graves Takes on New Role While Awaiting Return to RAW


Summary

– Corey Graves has joined NXT’s commentary team alongside Vic Joseph and Booker T

– His shift to NXT aligns with Pat McAfee’s anticipated return to RAW after football season

– Graves expressed excitement about returning to his NXT roots

WWE began 2025 with significant changes, including Corey Graves returning to his NXT roots as part of a new three-man commentary team with Vic Joseph and Booker T. While fans welcomed his addition to the developmental brand, questions surfaced about Graves’ status on the main roster.

During *Wrestling Observer Radio*, Bryan Alvarez speculated about Graves stepping back from RAW. Dave Meltzer confirmed the move, stating that Graves will remain with NXT until football season, at which point Pat McAfee is expected to rejoin RAW’s commentary team.

Graves, who transitioned to commentary in NXT after his wrestling career ended due to concussion issues, shared his enthusiasm for the opportunity. He highlighted The Rock’s appearance and the chance to work with Booker T as standout moments during his first night back on the brand.

For now, Graves’ energy and expertise will enhance NXT’s presentation while fans eagerly await his eventual return to WWE’s main roster later this year.
