“Worst Experience of My Life”: Former Wrestler Corey Graves Opens Up on How His Misery Almost Cost Him His Wife Carmella

On the flip side of excitement, thrill, and breathtaking sensation, WWE brings tons of physical hazards to the table. One of the most common forms of this hazard that wrestlers have to deal with is concussions. They stand for a certain type of brain injury that can sometimes be as severe as life-threatening. So, WWE has strict provisions for those who suffered frequent concussions or showed signs of throughout their careers.

There are many unfortunate superstars who fell victim to this traumatic injury and had to end their career midway. WWE commentator Corey Graves had a similar experience during his brief wrestling stint. Graves didn’t kick-start his career from the commentary booth. Rather, the former NXT tag team champion always dreamed of wrestling in the squared circle for a long time and becoming a superstar someday. But destiny wasn’t kind to him, as he had to hang up his boots for good after receiving two consecutive concussions.

The WWE commentator disclosed how traumatic the incident was and the implications of the career-ending injury.

In the latest episode of the Hall of Fame podcast, Grave voiced his feelings regarding how that one fatal turn in his career took a toll on every other aspect of his life, including his relationship with his wife Carmella. ‘It was the worst experience of my life, honestly, like there was good, probably six months to a year. That I mean, my life kind of fell apart. Not only did I have my dream job sort of taken away from me, and it affected every aspect of my life. Man, my wife and I were having a problem literally… if it could have gone wrong, it was wrong…’ he noted.

He further detailed how he eventually landed at the commentary table after WWE allowed him to continue a career in the company. Unfortunately, Graves and his wife suffered another devastating setback last year.

She, however, managed to get out of her remorse and shared the news with the world to raise awareness regarding the issue.
