WWE RAW commentator Corey Graves would love to take on a Jerry Lawler-type wrestling role with the company.
Corey Graves recently sat down with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated to discuss all things WWE. When asked about being medically cleared to return to the ring, Graves admitted he doesn’t have any plans to leave the announce table but would love to get into the ring from time to time like WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler used to do for the company.
“I love my place and my seat. I’m not going to leave the announce table,” Corey Graves said. “Best-case scenario, somewhere down the line, maybe there’s a spot for it. Jerry Lawler used to do it from time-to-time. Once in a blue moon, if it can help get somebody else over, I’d be down for it. But it’s not some imminent return. It’s not like I’m buying new boots or having gear made.”
Corey Graves hasn’t wrestled for WWE since 2014 after a series of concussions derailed his in-ring career. Graves was then given the opportunity from Triple H to try commentary in NXT, and the rest, as they say, is history.
