10 Wild Predictions For Kurt Angle’s Big Secret
2. Corey Graves Is His Illegitimate Son
Monday Night Raw's newest announcer has been involved in the Kurt Angle story since it's inception, merely proffering that 'people tell him things' as a reason for his inclusion into the secret hanging over the General Manager's dome.
In Corey Graves, WWE have crafted a contemporary equivalent of Attitude Era oddity 'Just Joe', a backstage sh*t-stirrer that would pass on gossip to superstars and exit the scene with a 'don't shoot the messenger' sign-off. Outside of the Angle enquiries, Graves also accessed the footage that exposed Big Cass as the manipulative mastermind behind the attacks on his so-called friend Enzo Amoré, and had no problem sharing the revelations with the Raw audience.
Graves almost let his mask slip early in the programme, digging a touch too deep in to Kurt's personal life on the post-Father's Day edition of the flagship show, before the duo were interrupted by Enzo and Cass in more foreshadowing of the eventual breakdown in relations between the New York/New Jersey pairing.
It's perhaps no coincidence that Corey has been front and centre for virtually all of the company's promotion behind Angle's return. Sit down interviews and profile pieces were anchored by Graves, with the fellow Pittsburghers sharing stories and backgrounds that may have revealed tighter ties that either ever could have expected.
