During the pre-show for NXT TakeOver: San Antonio live on WWE Network, it was announced by RAW, 205 Live and NXT commentator Corey Graves that TakeOver: San Antonio will be his last event he will commentate for NXT as he will continue his work on RAW and 205 Live. Graves then announced his replacement of former ROH star and commentator Nigel McGuinness, who will take over for Graves beginning with next week’s episode of NXT TV.
