Report: People within WWE believe that Corey Graves is “way too good” to not be on main roster television

Corey Graves, who has mostly been doing commentary work for WWE NXT in 2025, has filled in for the absent Pat McAfee on RAW over the past several weeks. During WrestleVotes Radio, the following was said about Graves’ status with WWE…

“According to several within the WWE, there is a strong contingency to get Corey Graves on main roster television weekly regardless of who is or is not available. While several understand the value that Pat McAfee brings to the company, many feel like Graves is way too good and way too passionate to not be on main roster television week in and week out. We can’t confirm as of this moment if WWE has any interest in bringing back the old three-man booths for TV or not.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)

It was previously reported that Graves received “high marks” for his role as lead announcer at the WWE/AAA Worlds Collide 2025 PLE.
