I know the severity of concussions, (Im in the Sports Medicine field), but has there been a definite statement made about his in ring future? I realize he's now had two concussions and honestly its probably for the best, just curious. I know he is still around helping with production, but I think his character should be on TV in some fashion (manager, announcer, interviewer).

Hasn't ziggler had more than 2 already? |

I think he's officially done. Concussion's are no joke. Some can be career ending. Hell, Bret Hart retired due to one and so did Chris Nowinski.
It's a shame because Graves is talented and I'm sure he would have made it to the main roster eventually. But props to wwe for being on top of these things and protecting their talent.

Hasn't ziggler had more than 2 already? I think Ziggler only had one and that's when Swagger kicked the f*ck out of him. And I think he just got his bell rung against Ryback but he wasn't concussed. |

I enjoyed Corey Graves' work and he was in a feud with Sami Zayn that probably would have led to a match at TakeOver. I saw big things for him but unfortunately, he went down. I hope he is able to return, but he would probably be best off if he retired.

I remember a couple months back, there were rumors of Corey Graves becoming an on-screen backstage role. I haven't heard anything about the topic since. I really do hope he recovers and returns to the ring. He is a great performer and it would suck to see his in-ring career end like that.

The new Men's Fitness magazine has a story on the WWE Fitness Center and there are pics of Graves that look as if he's a trainer. The article is worth the read! |

He has a backstage role helping talent in NXT. Hopefully one day he could return to the ring he was one of my favorites.

If he's done, I completely understand. But selfishly I hope he's not. He was the first guy in NXT I really got into

I've said this before and I still think Corey Graves should manage Baron Corbin. That way Graves can do all the talking for the big guy.

I don't think it's been made official, but they're trying to find something else for him to do because getting those concussions before he's even debuted probably means they could never do anything significant with him in-ring. I think he's officially done. Concussion's are no joke. Some can be career ending. Hell, Bret Hart retired due to one and so did Chris Nowinski. It's a shame because Graves is talented and I'm sure he would have made it to the main roster eventually. But props to wwe for being on top of these things and protecting their talent. Bret's was a stroke. Bret Hart retired due to a concussion. He had a stroke years later. |

Ok, thanks for educating me. I could have sworn the kick caused a stroke days later. I apologize for being wrong. |
