Just a week after his emotional social media rant, WWE announcer Corey Graves made his return to NXT. PWInsider reported his return before the show went on the air. Graves was reportedly “booked late” on January 20, 2025, to return to WWE NXT.

Corey Graves captured plenty of headlines last week, and it doesn't appear the WWE announcer will be back on television to provide any clarity this week. PWInsi

Corey Graves — who also returned to NXT commentary last night — was back calling Speed this week. WWE Main Event commentator Blake Howard had replaced him on last week’s Speed amid the drama Graves created on social media. The Sabin vs. Waller match was taped at SmackDown last Friday with Graves later voicing over his commentary.

Unless an earlier report that says the announcer won’t be back is correct. Either way, all eyes are on the Jan. 21 episode, one week after Graves was allegedly pulled because of social media posts expressing his unhappiness at being assigned to NXT rather than Raw.
