WWE: 7 Next NXT Call-Ups To The Main Roster

5. Corey Graves

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovqK6-D4teU Corey Graves is someone who stands out with his body covered in tattoos and his attitude; and has been an important part of NXT since his debut. A former NXT Tag Team Champion alongside Adrian Neville, he recently turned heel after he and Neville lost the championships to the Ascension, by attacking his former partner, who then beat him in a Two out of Three Falls match a few weeks later. He then took some time off due to a concussion; from which he has already healed. A nice run in developmental so far. I think Graves is also one of the next guys who will be called up. Now that he's a heel, which fits his persona and appearance much more than being a fan favorite, his character is back on track. His ring work has been good; he has had good matches with the likes of Seth Rollins and Adrian Neville. Despite his small size, I think Corey Graves could accomplish a lot on the main roster in the long run; and he also has a cool finisher, the Lucky 13 (an Inverted Figure-4 Leg Lock), so I believe that if he is brought up with a good storyline to work with and in the correct spot, he could succeed, and I see that change coming soon for him.
