5 big changes in the WWE that worked well

#2 Corey Graves

Corey Graves has revelled as a commentator after his in-ring career got cut short

This may appear to be a trivial point on paper, but for the majority of the fanbase that watches WWE programming through their television sets each week, commentary plays a major role in how they perceive what transpires on their screens.

Although Michael Cole has been a staple of Raw's commentary team for a good number of years now, we have all - at some point - compared him to the great JR and felt that he just doesn't match up.

Needless to say, the other commentators paired up with him range anywhere from passable to downright ridiculous depending on what you make of it.

Enter Corey Graves.

The Saviour of Misbehaviour has been a refreshing change of pace as compared to the likes of Booker T or JBL, ever since he's been moved to the main roster from NXT. Despite having been forced to retire due to sustained injuries, he found his true place on the commentary table.

He possesses wit, timing and an approach to commentary that allows him to slot right into the mould of Bobby Heenan, Paul Heyman and Jerry Lawler, the last great heel commentators in the WWE.

And the fact that he's doubling down on his duties by doing both SmackDown Live and Raw is an indication that the powers-that-be feel the same way too.
