Corey Graves’ recent comments expressing frustration over his move to WWE NXT have faced criticism from former announcer Jonathan Coachman.
Graves recently seemingly voiced his displeasure at being moved away from the main roster and over to NXT.
Jonathan Coachman – who previously served as a WWE commentator, among other roles – has now reacted to Graves’ attitude on Twitter.
Coachman has previously spoken multiple times about how he believes that Graves didn’t want to work with him in 2018 when they were calling Raw alongside Michael Cole.
Resharing a post summarising a report about Graves voicing his frustrations, Coachman wrote:
“So Corey is upset for being bumped from the main announce roster. Happened to JR 5 times. Happened to Cole multiple times. Happened to me multiple times.
“He is right he is really good at his job. But playing in the sandbox a little bit better might not hurt next time.
“Embrace whatever role you have and understand that you are lucky to have it.
“There are only 3-5 of these jobs at the highest level. Who knows maybe they asked him to be a part of a 3 man booth. We know he doesn’t like that. lol. Sorry had to.
“Last line a joke. The rest it’s the wrestling business. It happens.”
However, he didn’t end up appearing on that episode of WWE NXT, with a report noting he was “spotted at Orlando Airport” seemingly leaving the city.
We will continue to provide updates on the situation as they become available.
