Corey Graves Confirms He Has Been Cleared For WWE In-Ring Return

Following reports earlier this year, Corey Graves has confirmed he has been cleared for an in-ring return. He told TMZ returning to the squared circle wasn't an immediate goal of his, though.

"I went and spent some time with doctors middle of last year. I kinda got the itch. This is one of the first times I'm saying this publicly. I have been medically cleared to compete. It's not an immediate goal of mine, it was just something I needed to know for my own sanity. My journey in the ring got cut short and it's kinda eaten at me for years, always wondering what if, what if there's a chance, what if there's an opportunity...so I went and did the necessary steps and it turns out I'm more okay than I thought I was," Graves said.

The Saviour Of Misbehaviour was previously forced to retire in 2014 following multiple concussions.

Graves then transitioned to an announcer position and he has been one of WWE's most trusted commentators. He currently handles broadcasting duties on Monday Night Raw alongside Jimmy Smith and Byron Saxton.
