WWE seemingly has a "strong interest" in signing a 61-year-old veteran to a Legends deal, which is set to be entirely separate from his other roles in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide.

On the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio on WrestleBinge, JoeyVotes and TC reported that there is a lot of interest backstage in signing the legendary veteran wrestler, the 61-year-old Konnan, to a WWE Legends deal. He is currently a part of the company via his association with AAA, where he is a commentator apart from being a member of the creative team. The WCW legend was a part of the commentary team at the Worlds Collide event alongside Corey Graves this past June.

This means that Konnan could end up with two entirely separate deals: one in the form of a WWE Legends contract and the other for his above-mentioned roles. It certainly looks like a lucrative role for the 61-year-old.

Konnan had a lot of praise for his WWE Worlds Collide partner, Corey Graves

While Konnan was more than ready to help Corey Graves with a thing or two when it came to AAA, he seemed to be surprised at just how well prepared the RAW commentator was. Corey Graves received a lot of acclaim for how he handled his commentary duties at the Worlds Collide event, as it was the big stage to introduce AAA to the wider WWE audience.

Konnan said that he was thoroughly impressed with how Graves handled his role at Worlds Collide. Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter in an exclusive interview, he said:

"He came pretty prepared. His brother wrestled in AAA. He did his due diligence. He came pretty prepared. So, I helped him with a couple of things. Not as much as you would think. He's a very professional guy, and I'm glad I had him as a partner. He made it easy for me because I hadn't done commentating in over 10 years."

All things considered, the Konnan-Corey Graves partnership proved to be extremely wholesome, and it was mutually beneficial. For Konnan, Corey was the guy who eased his nerves, and for the former NXT star, it was a reminder that his rough patch in early 2025 might be past him.

WWE fans appear to be happy to have Corey Graves back to commentary duties on the main roster.
