Corey Graves Moves Back To WWE NXT On New Year's Evil

Corey Graves has moved back to WWE NXT. Graves was on commentary alongside Vic Joseph and Booker T on Tuesday night's special New Year's Evil edition of NXT.

It appears Graves' move back to NXT will be a permanent change. WWE have carried out a reshuffle of their commentary teams since Raw's premiere on Netflix on January 6, with Michael Cole & Pat McAfee on Monday Night Raw and Joe Tessitore & Wade Barrett on Friday Night SmackDown. Raw recently moved to Netflix, while SmackDown airs on USA Network in the United States and Netflix in the United Kingdom.

Corey Graves was previously a full-time commentator on WWE NXT from 2014 until February 2017, heading to the commentary dek after announcing his in-ring retirement due to injury.

Graves had been a commentator on the main roster since 2016, primarily serving as the colour announcer. The former NXT Tag Team Champion was briefly the play-by-play commentator on SmackDown in 2024 until Joe Tessitore joined Raw in September, with Michael Cole moving to SmackDown in the process.
