A 41-year-old WWE star’s main roster move may be imminent after spending some time supposedly in the doghouse.
Popular commentator Corey Graves had been vocal about his displeasure at how he was being utilized by the sports entertainment juggernaut. Through his lens, he was relegated to the developmental brand NXT, despite a solid run as color commentator on SmackDown and RAW.

Graves articulated his honest feelings on X/Twitter after Worlds Collide recently. He wrote that he had found a newfound love for pro wrestling, something he felt he had lost. He also praised veteran Konnan for the latter’s wisdom in his post.

Sometimes, you run low on passion. But then, something like this weekend happens.

Carmella slammed the company for “ghosting” her and not reciprocating to her pitches, opting to release her instead. She even claimed that it felt like she was being punished for getting pregnant.
