Bold, but thanks to recent events, no longer impossible.

Corey Graves, if you are not aware, was once a major star in NXT, back in the days when the brand really started to hit its stride. After a successful career on the indies, Graves made a seamless transition over to WWE, adapting to their different style quickly and producing entertaining matches on a weekly basis. Go seek out any of his matches with Sami Zayn on the Network if you have some spare time, they are seriously great. Unfortunately, concussion related injuries forced the star to retire in late 2014, told he would never wrestle again.

Since, Graves has become the new voice of WWE. An excellent addition to any announce team he is a part of, Graves has been more successful in his new role than anyone could have predicted.

As earlier mentioned, Graves was told he'd never wrestle again. But this has all changed since the return of Edge. Edge was also told he'd never wrestle again, yet nine years later he stepped into a ring once more. Graves has recently stated that Edge's story has inspired him to attempt a return himself. The doctor that treated Edge is located in Graves' hometown of Pittsburgh, so Graves definitely has access to the appropriate medical facilities in order to make this a reality. Yes, it took nine years for Edge to regain his wrestling ability, but Graves' injury was not at the same level, so there is no reason to believe Graves' return can't have a quicker turnaround.

'The Saviour of Misbehaviour' might actually have a shot of returning to the ring quicker than expected.
