WWE News - Retired Superstar considering return after being inspired by Edge

Corey Graves says he is considering a return to in-ring action after watching Edge’s ‘WWE 24’ documentary on the WWE Network.

The episode was originally supposed to be based on how Edge has adapted to life after being forced to retire from wrestling in 2011. However, the filming took place in the same period of time that WWE medical director Dr. Joseph Maroon cleared the Hall of Famer to return, so the episode revolved around his 2020 comeback instead.

Speaking in an interview with Edge on this week’s After The Bell podcast, Graves revealed that he was inspired by the comeback story and he is tempted to get in touch with Maroon to find out whether there is a chance that he could also return.

“Watching it, honestly, man, it was inspiring. I would say at two or three different points I went, ‘Man, I live in Pittsburgh now. I should go find Dr. Maroon.’ It just gave me that urge to do this all over again, and I don’t know whether or not that’s a possibility, but the thought was planted in my brain for quite some time.”
