• Retired WWE Wrestler Trains In The Ring After A Long Time (Video)
WWE SmackDown Commentator, Corey Graves, hasn’t stepped in the ring as a wrestler for 6 years.
The Savior of Misbehaviour retired from in-ring competition back in 2014, after suffering two concussions.
Graves recently trained in the ring with his brother Sam Adonis. Adonis enjoyed wrestling with his brother, as they were in the same ring after 5 long years.
You can watch it below:

We noted earlier that Graves was very inspired by Edge’s in-ring return earlier this year, because of which he’s also determined to get medically cleared to wrestle.
