'The Saviour of Misbehaviour' dramatically abandoned his post at the commentary table with some urgency to deliver the news to General Manager Kurt Angle that somebody wanted him gone from the role.

Graves spoke of the bond he'd developed with Angle on Network gabfest 'Bring It To The Table', noting the friendship they'd struck up whilst filming an interview around the Olympian's return.

He also noted his ability to gain the trust of others when delivering the bad news to the Monday Night Raw boss, but it's possible he's abused his position as a confident to take down Kurt himself.
