Corey Graves Misses Another WWE Broadcast Amid Ongoing Speculation
Corey Graves’ absence from yet another WWE broadcast continues to stir speculation. The former “SmackDown” commentator, who was recently moved to “NXT,” has now missed a “WWE Speed” episode, raising more questions about his future with the company.
Although this week’s “Speed” episode, which featured a tournament match between Chad Gable and Charlie Dempsey, was taped before Graves’ transition to “NXT,” his replacement by Blake Howard was still noticeable. Graves had been a consistent presence on “Speed” since the show’s inception on X last April. Coupled with his no-show on “NXT” earlier this week, his absence is seen by some as a sign of deeper issues.
Adding to the mystery are Graves’ cryptic tweets from earlier in the week, which have fueled speculation about his standing with WWE. While some view these absences as mere scheduling quirks or coincidental timing, others see them as potential indicators of a strained relationship.
For now, it’s unclear whether these developments signal an impending departure. Reports suggest Graves remains under contract with WWE through at least 2027, following his renewed deal in January 2024. This would make a sudden exit unlikely without significant resolution between both sides.
Fans and industry insiders alike will be watching closely as the situation unfolds, eager for clarity on what lies ahead for the polarizing commentator.
