Fans loved McAfee as the charismatic voice of the blue brand during his time in the commentary booth. However, his stint as an announcer came to a halt when the former NFL star decided to join ESPN's College GameDay. On the latest episode of Smack Talk, Mantell mentioned that Pat McAfee's absence was evident on the blue brand. He claimed that while Michael Cole was doing his job, Graves was not complimenting him too well. "I miss Pat. Corey Graves is about as interesting as wadded newspaper. He says nothing that's really, I mean, I don't know if he already has these lines or whatever. You know, Cole is good. Cole has got a different job. He's gotta be the quarterback of the announce team. Corey Graves, he doesn't give him anything to bounce of off. But Pat did, they were a good team."

Graves is also the co-host of the After the Bell podcast alongside NXT commentator Vic Joseph.
