Corey Graves has deleted the two tweets related to his comments about his current positioning in the WWE announcing team.
As we reported yesterday exclusively, Graves did not appear on NXT although he was originally scheduled to be part of the announcing team. Graves left Orlando yesterday afternoon after teasing that he had something to say on the NXT broadcast that evening.
On Monday evening, Graves wrote on Twitter about losing his dream job as a wrestler then building up his reputation as an announcer only to not be able to keep his position because he was not famous enough. That comment was a reference to Pat McAfee and Joe Tessitore taking lead announcing roles on Raw and Smackdown.
While some have assumed this is some sort of work, we are told that Graves' comments were legitimate and echoed frustrations he had been voicing privately over the last week after working the NXT New Year's Evil broadcast, according to multiple sources.
We are told that no announcement was made internally at NXT regarding Graves' status beyond word making the rounds that he would not be appearing on last night's episode.
There is no word on his status in WWE or on the NXT brand as of this writing.
