Corey Graves seems to be far from happy at having lost his place on the WWE main roster commentary team on RAW and SmackDown. The star has made a heartbreaking post after this week's show of the red brand.

Graves started in NXT as a wrestler and was even challenging for the top title. Unfortunately, he suffered a career-ending injury, ending his dream of being a wrestler. He referred to this situation in a heartbreaking post, saying that he ended up being able to physically chase his dreams any longer. Thus, he made the decision to move to commentary and dedicated his life to it. Over the past eight years, he has been synonymous with commentary in WWE along with Michael Cole on the main roster.

Unfortunately, when RAW made the change to Netflix, instead of Corey Graves being part of the SmackDown team with Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett, or working with Michael Cole and Pat McAfee, he was sent to NXT to work with Vic Joseph and Booker T.

He was clearly heartbroken and said that he had been told that he was not famous enough to do his job. He didn't reveal who had told him that, as it could be someone in the company or even fans. It appears, however, that it was someone in the company. He was heartbroken and was taking big shots with the post.

"Imagine chasing your dream. Then being TOLD (not deciding) that you’re no longer physically able to pursue your dream. Then you dedicate your life to something “dream adjacent” and being pretty f**king awesome at it. And then, when it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor, being told you’re not famous enough for your own job. Just in case you’ve wondered where I’ve been," said Corey Graves.

It remains to be seen how WWE responds to this post by Corey Graves.
