<p>Graves was transferred from commentating for WWE’s prime team to its NXT team, following the migration of WWE RAW to Netflix. After commentating on NXT’s New Year’s Evil, he disappeared for the next week’s event before making his return shortly after.</p>
<p>In an interaction at the “Getting Over” podcast, Vic Joseph shared his thoughts on Graves’ back-to-back transition to the WWE NXT team. He remarked,</p>
<p><b><i>“I think he had to have a new set of eyes and take a deep breath. Stuff we used to talk about when we’d travel in the car together was, ‘Hey man, it’d be cool to call the shows together one day.’ Once he and I had the talk, ‘Dude, this is what we’ve always talked about.’ He was like, ‘Yeah, you’re right.’ I always wore a bow tie every WrestleMania, Corey Graves gave me that as a gift at my very first WrestleMania. We have that personal connection. I think the difficulty of it for Corey, and I think this is where you’re starting to see that seamless transition now, he doesn’t have to do as much. He can take a deep breath and a step back and understand that it is three of us. Three unique individuals and distinct personalities for one goal for one show. It’s been getting better each and every week. It’s only going to get better. All three of us are stoked to be in New York on Tuesday. It’s a chance for not only the brand, but us as a broadcast team to take that next step together and start looking at our first WrestleMania weekend in Las Vegas.”</i></b></p>
<p>Stephanie Vaquer, during her recent stint on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, shared her experience of working in CMLL to WWE in co-partnership with the NXT team. There, she said,</p>
<p><b><i>“CMLL. Because in CMLL, when you’re new, they say, okay, you’re new…good luck. See you in the ring. You’re so nervous…[but] now I feel really good because here in WWE is a teamwork. I can ask, and I can take, you can help me. I can ask. But in CMLL, nobody help you. You’re alone. No teamwork. If you know wrestling, yeah, wrestle, and nobody’s…training, ‘Oh, you can teach me.’ No. You can say nothing, you can do nothing. You can ask nothing. Yeah, [it was] scary all the time. I cried every day, and I’m training every day. The first year, so difficult for me because I’m the new…I cry every day after the training. I cry every day because you can ask, you can, ‘Please help me,’ [but] no help.“</i></b></p>
