6 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (Mar 16th)

4. Graves Buries Rawley

It's no secret that Corey Graves is better as his job than any of the color commentators working on WWE's main roster. Still, he was in rare form during the show's opening contest, which pitted The Hype Bros of Mojo Rawley and Zack Ryder against Kenneth Crawford and Angelo Dawkins. In case you didn't know, Graves is not a huge fan of Rawley - and while he doesn't particularly like Zack Ryder, he's mostly just guilty by association. As soon as The Hype Bros came to the ring, Graves began laying into them, mentioning that the ring announcer should give Ryder and Rawley's combined IQ rather than their combined weight. The assault continued when Tom Phillips mentioned that Rawley was recently a guest on a cruise hosted by New England Patriots player Rob Gronkowski. Graves simply noted that he wished that cruise had ended up the same way as Leonardo DiCaprio's. Other broadcasters, take note.
