As one of the voices of SmackDown, Corey Graves has proven his worth as a commentator. He also has his own weekly podcast where top WWE Superstars and Legends appear and discuss interesting backstage stories. Overall, Graves is a valuable asset to the company.

But before he became a full-time commentator, Corey Graves was actually a prominent wrestler on NXT. Between 2012 and 2014, Graves feuded with the likes of The Wyatt Family, Sami Zayn, and The Shield. He even won the Tag Team titles with Neville (PAC) during his time on the Black and Gold brand.

However, after dropping the tag team gold, Graves and Neville entered into a heated feud with each other, during the course of which, the former suffered a serious concussion.

While Corey Graves was able to return to WWE NXT in 2014, he suffered another concussion shortly after, sidelining him from the action once again.

Due to the severity and frequency of the injuries, Corey Graves had to wrap up his in-ring career in WWE at the age of 30.
