Corey Graves has been pulling double duty since moving to RAW in the 2016 WWE Draft, and whilst his performances on the flagship show haven't been as polished as his NXT work the main roster is where he belongs. Much like the other NXT graduates, the time has come for Graves to leave the nest for good.

Graves is such an integral part of NXT however, it would have been folly to remove him from the show without an adequate replacement. It has taken six months, but that replacement has arrived in the shape of Nigel McGuinness. A spot on the NXT commentary team is the least that Nigel McGuinness deserves.

The Brit was robbed of his chance to perform inside a WWE ring due to injury, now he has his chance to make a mark behind the booth.
