10 Best One-Liners From WWE Raw This Week (Aug 8)
9. “Imagine The Headlines… They’d Be Misspelled”
But while Owens clearly had Jericho’s back, who would in
turn have Owens' back after his departure from the commentary table?
Corey Graves, of course, who once again assumed responsibility for dealing out the witty remarks in light of Owens’ absence—a role he’s getting pretty good at.
With Saxton speculating over an Enzo victory, Graves chimed in with his own two cents. “Imagine the headlines” suggested Saxton. “They’d be misspelled” was Graves’ snide, but not necessarily untrue, retort.
A reference to his distaste for the S-A-W-F-T spiel, this continues Graves’ anti-Enzo and Cass tirade. But it also further fortifies his position as the heel announcer on Raw. And most importantly, it managed to do that in an entertaining and amusing way, rather than via the annoying bickering that we’ve been subjected to in the past.
Some may have seen Graves’ post-Draft call-up to Raw as something
of a surprise. But with input like this, he’s looking perfectly at home on the commentary
team of the company’s flagship show.
