A notable figure in the WWE universe, Corey Graves, recently made headlines by divulging his involvement in a new venture outside the realms of the Stamford-based wrestling juggernaut.
Graves, aged 40, bid farewell to in-ring competition back in 2014 due to complications arising from concussions. Since then, he transitioned into an on-air role within the company, currently gracing screens as a commentator on Friday Night SmackDown alongside Wade Barrett.
Taking to Instagram, Corey Graves shared a snippet from the trailer of the upcoming film “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.”
In the accompanying video, both Graves and Cole could be heard providing commentary, with Graves expressing his exhilaration at lending his voice to the trailer, particularly as someone who harbors a lifelong fascination with movie monsters.
In another realm of WWE commentary, veteran voice Michael Cole, revered as the quintessential narrator of WWE’s narrative, shared his insights regarding Corey Graves during an interview with Awful Announcing.
Cole lauded the former NXT standout, envisioning him as the natural successor to his own illustrious tenure:
“It’s been a matter of affording him the opportunity to sit alongside me for many years, observing, learning, and absorbing my approach. And when we finally gave him the chance? He’s excelled beyond expectation. I genuinely believe he’s the next in line. Corey now possesses his distinct voice. We’ve learned from the past, avoiding the attempt to mold commentators into another Michael Cole. Instead, we’re nurturing Corey Graves. He’s not just an incredible commentator, but an exceptional individual. The future holds immense promise for him,”
Cole remarked.
