Corey Graves’ Frustrations Over Being Removed from WWE Main Roster Commentary Update – Graves Pulled from WWE Speed Commentary

As noted before, WWE commentator Corey Graves recently voiced out his frustrations on social media over being removed from WWE’s main roster commentary teams and moved over to NXT’s commentary team due to him being told “he was not famous enough for his own job.” Graves was pulled from NXT’s commentary team for Tuesday’s show for reasons believed to be related to recent comments he made on Twitter.

Wednesday’s episode of WWE Speed on Twitter featured Blake Howard replacing Graves as the commentator for this week’s show. This episode was taped last week prior to the start of this past Friday’s WWE SmackDown show.

Howard is the current lead commentator for WWE Main Event and also had been the lead commentator for NXT LVL Up prior to the series cancellation.
