During the latest edition of After the Bell, Corey Graves took time to answer fan questions. Here are the highlights below:
Graves on how he once considered joining the WWE creative team: “I actually have considered it. I toyed with it briefly for about a month a few years back on the 205 Live brand. I was privy to a few conference calls and meetings. And to be perfectly honest, that’s just a lot of work, and we have a very talented team of guys and girls who work exceptionally hard, tireless hours. And that is just something I honestly don’t have time for. Someday, maybe, if I can carve time out of my schedule. And I think, ultimately, at the end of the day, I’m a big crybaby, and if I can’t get my way and get what I want, then I don’t think I’m going to be happy. So, maybe someday, but thank you for appreciating my ideas.”
Graves on his prediction for Drew McIntyre in 2020: “I’m going to go on record right now, if there is any justice in the world, the biggest year for any Superstar in WWE should be Drew McIntyre. Drew McIntyre is a megastar, always on the verge of breaking out. I think Drew is the guy, or one of the guys, that can carry WWE proudly into the future, so I hope I’m right on that one for my sake and for everyone’s sake because Drew McIntyre is freaking awesome.”
Corey Graves predicts The Fiend vs. Big E at WrestleMania 36: “My prediction for the main event of WrestleMania this year, with the Universal championship on the line, The Fiend, the reigning champion, will defend against Big E from The New Day. I said it here on After the Bell, it is about damn time for Big E to get his just due and have his opportunity at a big time singles run. I think Big E vs. The Fiend under the bright lights of WrestleMania in Tampa, Florida could be truly memorable. That said, I have no idea what’s going to happen 20 minutes from now, let alone by the time we get to WrestleMania, but my producers are happy, and I won’t be getting yelled at into my ears anymore.”
