Corey Graves may gave stepped away from competition in 2014, but the WWE announcer has made it clear before that an in-ring return is not out of the question.
Now Graves has gone a step further by sharing that he’s been training and could even turn up in one of the hottest promotions in wrestling.
During an appearance on The Mark Hole Show on Wednesday (September 9), he indicated that not only is he medically cleared to wrestle again, but he has the itch.
“I did go and get medically cleared several
years back when it seemed like there was going to be an opportunity,” Graves said. “Obviously, plans change as things change in the industry. I got a little stagnant after that, but I’m proud to report that I’ve been back in the gym for the past several months just to see how I feel.”
Graves then added some thoughts about where he might like to land if he does decide to lace up his wrestling boots again.
“AAA might be fun for me to step foot into that,” he said, noting that his younger brother, Sam Adonis, has been successful in the WWE-owned Lucha Libre promotion.
“Maybe I’ll follow in his footsteps,” Graves said. “That could be kind of fun. Never say never.”
He also put over AAA in general, saying how the company provides a viable option to WWE.
“Because as amazing as life within WWE can be, it’s a grind,” Graves said. “You know, every week — no matter who you are, no matter what you do — you go to the airport, you get to the next town. You go to the hotel, hope you can get some food, lather, rinse, repeat over and over, 52 weeks a year.
“Arguably, right now, our schedule’s as busy as it’s ever been. So to have a change of scenery in a sense like AAA has been able to provide has been invaluable for a lot of the talent, and myself included.”
What do you think, Cagesiders? Would you like to see Graves step back into the ring for AAA? Let us know in the comments.
