Update on the situation between WWE and announcer Corey Graves

On Monday night, WWE announcer Corey Graves issued a public statement about his status with the company following his move back to the NXT brand. Graves later wrote that he would have “a lot to say” on the January 14th 2025 edition of WWE NXT but didn’t end up appearing on the show and his posts were deleted.

Graves’ future with WWE is currently uncertain. In an update on the situation, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following…

“We were told that he was not trying to get fired, just trying to blur the lines and create buzz. One person high up in WWE said after that, ‘He may be telling everyone it’s a work. And it may turn into one. But it was a total shoot when it was happening.’ To make it completely clear, he isn’t saying that publicly as in this situation he’s probably not going to publicly talk about it for a long time, until long after it blows over, unless they do an angle from it, or if the relationship with the company were to end.”
