Update: Fightful Select reports Graves is listed for commentary on the show and is expected at the WWE PC for rehearsals for the show.
Original: It’s been a week since Corey Graves tweeted that he was told he wasn’t famous enough for a spot on Raw or SmackDown, and that’s why he went to NXT.
Graves tweeted, “Imagine chasing your dream. Then being TOLD (not deciding) that you’re no longer physically able to pursue your dream. Then you dedicate your life to something “dream adjacent” and being pretty fucking awesome at it. And then, when it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor, being told you’re not famous enough for your own job. Just in case you’ve wondered where I’ve been.” The belief is that Graves is legitimately unhappy about being moved to NXT.
PWInsider.com reports they were told there are no plans for Graves to be at tonight’s WWE NXT. No further update on his status was provided. Here is the updated card:
NXT Championship Match: Oba Femi (c) vs. Eddy Thorpe
NXT North American Championship Match: Tony D’Angelo (c) vs. Ridge Holland
