Vic Joseph addresses the situation between Corey Graves and WWE from January of 2025

Earlier this month, WWE announcer Corey Graves issued a public statement about his status with the company following his move back to the NXT brand. After missing a week of television, Graves returned to his commentary position for the January 21st 2025 show.

During an interview with the Getting Over podcast, Graves NXT broadcast partner Vic Joseph commented on the situation…

“I think he had to have a new set of eyes and take a deep breath. And something we’ve always talked about…we used to travel in the car together….was, ‘Hey man, it’d be cool to call the shows together one day.’ And I think once he and I had the talk, like, ‘Dude, this is what we’ve always talked about.’ He was kind of like, ‘Yeah, you’re right.’

I think the difficulty [is] for Corey, and I think this is where you start to see that seamless transition. Now, he doesn’t have to do as much. Now he can take a deep breath. Now he can take a step back and understand that it is three of us, three unique individuals, three distinct personalities for one goal for one show.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
