The best thing about Corey Graves is that he regularly tells the truth as a heel announcer. Contrast that with Byron Saxton's overbearing falseness for a second. Whereas Saxton is seemingly happy to act as the sugary-sweet voice of WWE, Graves pushes the envelope a little with some of his comments.

On SmackDown, he told the truth about Becky Lynch and said she has gone from being the first ever SmackDown Women's Champ in 2016 to nothing more than Charlotte Flair's sidekick now.

There's a story building here, and it started with comments from Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville last week that Becky is viewed as Charlotte's little pal. Add Corey's jibe to that and it seems WWE are slow-burning a heel turn for Lynch.

Let's hope so.
