Corey Graves seems to be interested on returning to in-ring competition at WrestleMania. He has been in the headlines for a while now. He has recently received attention for the new Corey and Carmella show, and has also made some headlines when it was rumored that he would be cleared for in-ring competition.
Corey Graves spoke to Justin Barrasso from Sports Illustrated and confirmed that he has been cleared to return to the ring. He stated that he has no desire to step away from the announcer’s desk and also admitted that he wanted a role like Jerry Lawler where he has occasional matches. Following his call-out of Pat McAfee for WrestleMania 38, Corey Graves said that he was compelled to retire and that he didn’t forget how to fight:
Remember…THEY told ME I had to retire.
I didn’t just, like, forget how to fight.

“I love my place and my seat. I’m not going to leave the announce table. Best-case scenario, somewhere down the line, maybe there’s a spot for it. Jerry Lawler used to do it from time-to-time,” said Graves.
