WWE broadcaster Corey Graves on being replaced with Pat McAfee from SmackDown's commentary team
A few months back, on his appearance on The Kurt Angle podcast, Corey Graves confessed that he was disappointed when he was replaced by Pat McAfee in SmackDown's commentary team and sent to RAW in 2021.
The WWE star added that he was "upset" professionally over the change as he had paid his dues by working week after week for several years.
"Believe it or not, I'm blowing up my own stuff here. I think the world of Pat. He is such a strong persona, it is easy for me to play off of, rib him, and get under his skin. I was a little upset, professionally, that I found out, you're going from Friday Night SmackDown on FOX, the network show that you've kicked off with Michael Cole, I took it a little personally. Not because Pat, but I've paid my dues here. I'm the guy who shows up week after week, I'm the guy who did both Raw and SmackDown for two years straight, never complained, and this is how you do me."
Corey Graves was brought back to WWE SmackDown's broadcasting team in September 2022 when McAfee left to fulfill his other commitments.
