WWE commentator Corey Graves hasn’t competed in years, but the former NXT Tag Team Champion isn’t opposed to a one-off return to the ring.
In a recent interview with Steelers Takeaways, Graves spoke about possibly returning to the ring after being medically cleared to compete in 2020. He said,
“The transition in a weird way saved me from what could have been. Instead of grieving over the loss of my dream as an in-ring performer, it gave me something new to focus my energy on while staying in the business. I found a new mountain to climb. In hindsight it really helped me deal with that loss.
“I have a clean bill of health now, thanks. I actually got medically cleared a couple of years ago to perform in the ring again. I flirted with the idea and am waiting for a potential opportunity if it presents itself. More of a one-time ting like McAfee has done – not as a full-time in-ring performer.”
Graves currently calls the action on WWE SmackDown alongside Kevin Patrick and Michael Cole. His last official match for WWE took place at a March 2014 NXT live event.
