Corey Graves Won’t Be Addressing Recent Controversy During WWE NXT Return

Corey Graves is back behind the desk for WWE NXT tonight, but don’t expect him to say a word about his recent controversy.

PWInsider reports that Graves flew into Orlando this morning and has already arrived at the WWE Performance Center, where he will be on commentary alongside Booker T and Vic Joseph.

Despite his absence last week following a series of now-deleted tweets that stirred up speculation about his WWE status, sources say there will be no mention of the situation on tonight’s broadcast. WWE is reportedly moving forward as if nothing happened, keeping Graves focused on calling the action instead of addressing the headlines.

Graves’ cryptic social media posts about his career led to rumors of tension between him and WWE, but reports indicate he was never fired and isn’t looking to leave. While his return to NXT commentary suggests things have settled for now, it’s unclear if WWE has long-term plans for him to stay in NXT or if he’ll eventually return to RAW or SmackDown.

Corey Graves is back, but WWE is making sure the drama stays off-camera. Whether that silence means everything is smoothed over or they’re just waiting for the dust to settle remains to be seen. One thing’s for sure—fans won’t forget those deleted tweets anytime soon, even if Graves is keeping his mouth shut about them.
