Corey Graves recently appeared as a guest on 100.7 Star-On-Demand for an interview to promote his upcoming new television series with Carmella.
During the discussion, the WWE color-commentator spoke about how it seemed like he was heading to the main roster just before an injury forced him to retire from active in-ring action.
Additionally, the pro wrestling veteran discussed how he would like to work a program with Seth Rollins.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
On how it seemed like he was heading to the main roster just before he was forced to retire from in-ring action due to injury issues: "To my knowledge, there were no concrete plans, there was no certain way that they were going to use me or introduce me. But it seemed as though it was coming pretty — something was happening. Since then, I focused all my energy on becoming a commentator, because this is something I never experienced before. Never in a million years thought I would do. So, too, it gave me something new to focus on. I went all-in on the commentary gig for several years and now I got to the point where, ‘Alright, I’ve called WrestleMania. I’ve called all the biggest matches, I’ve been all over, I’ve done everything.’ I just kind of felt like I plateaued a little bit and I got bored,” Corey Graves said about deciding he wanted to see about being medically cleared for in-ring action again.
On how he would like to square off in a rivalry with Seth Rollins: "Right now, Seth Rollins [is someone I would want to work with if I return from retirement.] Rollins, just because he’s a guy that I always had great chemistry with in the ring in NXT, but he has just continued to get better, and better, and better, and is doing some of the best work of his career right now. While he may not be WWE Champion, what he brings every night in this new persona with the dancing, he’s so obnoxious, and he gets under everybody’s skin. I love what Rollins is doing. I would love to mix it up with him one more time."
