Booker T Reveals Why He Had A Worked Feud With Corey Graves

In an interview with the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast (via SportsKeeda), Booker T spoke about why he started a worked feud with Corey Graves. The two traded shots over Booker T leaving RAW before revealing it was fake. Here are highlights:

On why he took shots at Graves: “Brad and I, we just had a last segment, 14 minutes, where we had nothing to talk about. Not one thing. We were trying to fill in time so our sponsors and the station won’t get mad at us. We filled the time slot and Corey Graves took the brunt of it.”

On what it accomplished: “What this proves is wrestling is still alive, the angles are still alive, the storylines could still be valid if one played them properly. People really thought I was mad at Corey Graves to the point that Forbes, USA Today, SB Nation – everybody picked it up.”

He added that he did get heated by one of Graves’ comments about him on RAW, but said they were just joking around.
