5. Corey Graves

<p>

On NXT, Graves and Mauro Ranallo were one of the better announce duos in wrestling history. Graves could provide some gritty insight into the wrestling game, while Ranallo focused on the more technical parts of calling the match.

However, once he was drafted to Raw all Graves has done is get into petty social media wars with Booker T. and CM Punk. His bragging and arrogance don't come across as playing a heel, they come across as mean-spirited and scornful. When he focuses on the job at hand, he can still call a decent match, but that rarely happens these days.
