Many WWE fans know Corey Graves for being a commentator of Raw, SmackDown, and NXT before that. If you look back on Peacock to the early days of NXT being live, Corey Graves was one of their stars. He was in a solid rivalry with Sami Zayn before Sami went on to win the NXT Title. The former ‘Savior of Misbehavior’ was even one half of the inaugural NXT Tag Team Champions alongside the man formerly known as Adrian Neville.

However, a concussion during WrestleMania Axxess in 2014 ended Corey's in-ring career. That is, until last week when it was reported that Graves has been cleared to return to active competition by the WWE. At only 37 years old, Graves has plenty of time left to resume his in-ring career, as long as his body and doctors allow him to do so.

Even if a full-time return to the ring was not on the cards for Corey Graves, a brief run in this year’s Royal Rumble match would be amazing for both himself and fans alike.
