Corey Graves has been a WWE commentator for the past few years. He has been a commentator on the NXT brand and on the main roster. Graves has done a pretty good job at the commentary booth. But his commentary style has come under scrutiny by the fans. Graves was absent from TV since the September 19, 2025, episode of SmackDown when Brock Lesnar brutally attacked him on the show. He returned on SmackDown in October and resumed his duties

Carmella lashes out at WWE for Corey Graves' short paternity leave

The reason Corey Graves was written off TV was so that he could go on paternity leave for the birth of his child. This meant he was off TV for a few weeks before returning. However, this paternity leave didn't make Carmella happy.

Carmella took to her Instagram stories to voice her displeasure over her husband's short paternity leave.

"His paternity leave started a week early, and since Bram was past his due date, by the time he was born, Matt [Graves] had to go back to work. He had to go back like five days after we came home from the hospital, which s*cks. But I guess I'd rather have him leave a little early postpartum than have him miss the birth of his child. So we had to compromise. I still think he should have way more time off than just five days after the baby’s born. That’s crazy," Carmella said. [H/T: Ringside News]

It's good to see Corey Graves back in his groove in WWE after the birth of his child. It remains to be seen if he will make more appearances on NXT.
