WWE announcer Corey Graves believes that Ludwig Kaiser has a huge future in the company.
Speaking on a recent edition of the podcast ‘After The Bell With Corey Graves And Kevin Patrick‘, the popular commentator, who was recently moved to the SmackDown announce desk, said he saw a bright future for the German Superstar after being impressed by his recent interactions with Maxxine Dupri in backstage segments.
Kaiser is currently a member of the Imperium faction, led by WWE Intercontinental Champion, Gunther. His charismatic ring announcements for the Austrian have caught the attention of the WWE audience, but Graves believes Kaiser will step out and become a star in his own right:
“Ludwig Kaiser has been a piece of the Imperium machine, he’s been the perfect set dressing on the main event that is Gunther, but after seeing what I saw on Monday, I’m going to make a bold prediction right here, right now, Ludwig Kaiser, sooner rather than later, should be a main event player in WWE.
I’m not expecting it to happen overnight, I’m not expecting him to be the one to knock off Gunther or anything of the sort, but he was so captivating, entertaining, eloquent, and all these other adjectives. Watching him interact with Maxxine, Ludwig Kaiser felt like a full-blown movie villain, Jeremy Irons in Die Hard, that foreign, handsome, eloquent, never yells, is cool and calm and collected, he’s getting under your skin and his facial expressions are so dead on.
I was sitting on the couch with my wife [Carmella] and I said, ‘This guy is amazing.’ I expect big things out of Ludwig Kaiser in the not too distant future because that dude can do it all.”
Corey Graves recently went into detail about the day he found out that Pat McAfee would be replacing him on SmackDown, with the WWE announcer describing how upset he was about the change, stating “This isn’t right, this isn’t fair.”
