5. Corey Graves Making Little Sense

The other announcers aren't getting away that easy, oh no. In fairness to Booker T, he wasn't the one talking complete nonsense on this week's Raw. Instead, it was that bastion of fashion sense Corey Graves who told the wrong story right before the Seth Rollins vs. Sheamus match.

Remember last week when Rollins beat Sheamus only to have the Raw Tag-Team Champs paste the tar out of him post-match? Graves doesn't, because he claimed Sheamus was out for revenge and had asked for a rematch with Seth. That doesn't make any sense. Shouldn't Rollins have been the one looking to avenge the painful beatdown he suffered?

Worse was to come when Graves contradicted himself. As Seth launched himself at Sheamus to jump start the match, Corey said it was payback for the beating. Later, Graves then encouraged Booker T to "pick an argument and stick to it", which is pretty ironic.
