Corey Graves deletes posts criticising WWE for his demotion to NXT, gets replaced on Speed

Fans are still divided over the situation involving WWE commentator Corey Graves and NXT. Many believe that Graves is genuinely frustrated with WWE over the management's decision to move him from the Raw announcement table to NXT last week, while others are of the view that his social media posts and absence from the show this week are part of some angle.

Graves added another layer of mystery to the entire fiasco by deleting his social media posts in which he had expressed his frustration over being moved to NXT.

What Corey Graves said on social media

In his first post, Graves spoke about how his dream of being a professional wrestler was shattered and how he had to adjust his dream, referring to the concussions that forced him to retire from in-ring performance and take up commentary.

"And then, when it¡¯s time to enjoy the fruits of your labour, being told you¡¯re not famous enough for your own job. Just in case you¡¯ve wondered where I¡¯ve been,¡± Graves said, implying that he was not happy with the move to NXT.

He had also posted on X, urging fans to tune into NXT as he had a lot to say, but ended up skipping the episode altogether.
