Corey Graves Says He Would Love To Wrestle CM Punk And Seth Rollins If We Were To Get Back Into The Ring

Corey Graves has two dream opponents if he were to get back into the ring.

It has been a decade since Corey Graves has been able to step foot in the ring, despite being a former 24/7 champion, it had not been cleared yet for Graves to return to the ring until Fightful Select had reported that Graves could come back.

During a conversation with Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, this is what Graves had to say about a potential return to the ring.

“Honestly, I could give you five different answers for that, but I can honestly say my focus has really shifted,” he said. “I got cleared, it was almost two years ago now, and it was in the midst of a lot of different things were happening, professionally and personally, and I was sort of looking for something to scratch that itch. But since I’ve slid over into the now lead role on Friday Night SmackDown in the commentary booth, that’s actually provided me with a lot more motivation and a new skill to learn and to focus on. As much as this is the biggest sports entertainment company in the globe, it can be Groundhog Day from time to time, and you see the same faces and do the same things, and I honestly was on autopilot half the time, doing SmackDown or Raw, from a color perspective. So to have this new role, I’ve been able to put 100% of my focus and energy in that. With that said, again, of the opportunity ever presented itself where it made sense and where it could be part of a larger story, I’m beyond the point of, I don’t need that WrestleMania moment for my own age. I just am a willing participant and another character that can hopefully be thrown into the mix in some capacity as needed, but I think I’ve scratched the itch fairly well recently.”

“I would love to step in the ring with Seth again. Seth was one of my favorite opponents in FCW and NXT when we were first coming up. I would love to step in the ring with Punk again. It’s been many, many years. As far as my personal favorite these days, I’m a big Gunther days. I’m in no hurry to step inside the ring with the Ring General.”

Graves will be calling the action at WrestleMania 40 alongside Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.
