WWE Superstar Carmella has been dating commentator Corey Graves for nearly two years. Unlike his commentary career, Graves' time as a WWE wrestler was short with limited success.

Today in #WWENXT History:January 2, 2013 — Corey Graves challenges Seth Rollins for the NXT Championship. Although Graves would be victorious — due to interference from Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns — this would be the only time Graves competed for the NXT Championship. pic.twitter.com/pFsBuxUgVd

The 37-year-old started wrestling on independent promotions 21 years ago. Eleven years later, Graves finally joined WWE in 2011. Before making it to WWE, Graves won several championships. While it seemed that he was heading towards the same in WWE after capturing the NXT Tag Team titles alongside Adrian Neville in 2013, Graves' career took an unexpected turn.

Corey Graves suffered a concussion that put him out of action for a few weeks in late 2013. He returned in January 2014 but suffered a second concussion a few months later. In December of that same year, Graves announced his retirement from in-ring competition due to concussion issues.

Graves' girlfriend Carmella, on the other hand, has had much success over the past few years. She became a main player on SmackDown, winning the SmackDown Women's Championship in 2018. She also made history, becoming the first-ever Ms. Money in the Bank.

Are people really calling Carmella overrated? She went from being a valet and the last draft pick for Smackdown to 1st Ms Money in the Bank TWICE, a former Smackdown Women’s Champion, she won the MMC with Truth and won the Women’s Battle Royal at Mania. pic.twitter.com/syyV2oOg1L

Carmella is still one of the top superstars on SmackDown today. The Princess of Staten Island has been chasing her second SmackDown Women's title over the past few weeks. She recently challenged Bianca Belair for the title but came up short.
