Over the weekend, one of the big stories was Mauro Ranallo not working Survivor Series. This came after Corey Graves Tweeted some criticism at Ranallo during NXT Takeover: WarGames about his commentary style.
The latest update on the situation is that Ranallo is now not working this week’s episode of NXT after what happened.
On the latest edition of the ‘After The Bell’ podcast, Corey issued an apology for his comments. Here is what he said:
“What’s up, everybody? Welcome to ‘After The Bell/, I am Corey Graves. A ton to get to this week as we do every week but before we go any further, on a personal note, I needed to address something. This past Saturday, during the ‘Takeover: WarGames’ event, I sent out a tweet. It was an unpopular opinion, as I often do with the intention of just stirring up a little controversy, maybe have something fun to talk about on TV or here on the show.
It was maybe not the most professional way to go about things, and it was never meant to offend or disrespect or disparage anybody. That was never my intention. If it was taken as such, I apologize deeply. That was not my intention. I would never intentionally cause anybody undue stress, especially a co-worker. So, I apologize.”
It is worth noting that as of writing this, Graves has not deleted any of his Tweets about the situation.
