Over the years, we have seen many WWE superstars return to professional wrestling post-retirement. For example, we saw big superstars like Daniel Bryan and Edge coming out of their retirement to wrestle once again in the squared circle. WWE commentator, Corey Graves, is another superstar who is eyeing a return from his in-ring retirement.
During his time in NXT, Graves suffered a concussion for the first time during his feud with former WWE superstar Neville. That got him off television for some time. But again he returned in 2014. But unfortunately, after contesting in a six-man tag team match against Sami Zayn and The USOs, he suffered another concussion. Soon after that, Graves announced his in-ring retirement on NXT TakeOver: R Evolution in 2014.
