Corey Graves redeemed the announce trio by wrapping up his Super Bowl chat for this week with a stunning line.

Once Rusev, Shinsuke Nakamura and Lana started (awkwardly) celebrating their first win as a tag-team, Graves channeled Bobby Heenan's brilliance by saying they reminded him of the New England Patriots. Then, he went even further.

Corey claimed Naka and Rusev are akin to Tom Brady and Super Bowl LIII MVP Julian Edelman, then hilariously compared Lana to curmudgeonly Pats coach Bil Belichick. Graves also made sure to note that the 'Ravishing Russian' is way more attractive.
