Prior to his in-ring retirement in 2014, Graves had a lengthy career on the independent scene and in NXT. He started his wrestling career in 2000, joining such promotions as International Wrestling Cartel and One Pro Wrestling. He had some sporadic appearances on WWE television before joining their developmental territory in 2011. He was a part of the roster when they made the transition from FCW to NXT in 2012.

Editor’s Opinion:
This is awesome news! I must admit that I have never seen him wrestle, but if this is what he wants to do, then I am all about it. he is one of the best commentators in the world and has been for quite some time, but I’ve known that he has always had a desire to return to the ring. To get to chase this goal and return to in-ring competition, much like Bryan Danielson and Edge is great, and I can’t wait to see it!
