Sadly, he’s not Corey Graves

Despite our worries, Nigel McGuinness, Corey Graves’ replacement as color commentator wasn’t a total embarrassment on his first day at the job. To be fair, most of his jokes hit home, and we suppose Percy Watson has decided to don the cap of Byron Saxton, at this commentary desk (the guy who gets picked upon).

We suppose McGuinness won't be adapting the elitist persona that Corey Graves was renowned for, but he works just fine, we suppose.

However, it was such a dampener not to hear any New Jersey jokes through the duration of the Liv Morgan match. We suppose we’ll get used to McGuiness’ style, ways and mannerisms very soon, but NXT won’t be the same without Corey Graves. Here's the litmus test for Nigel. How does he react to The Drifter?
