Big Cass made his long-awaited return to WWE on the RAW after SummerSlam 2026, but it wasn’t just the former AEW star’s comeback that had fans buzzing.
Following weeks of cryptic vignettes, Big Cass resurfaced during this week’s edition of WWE RAW at Casey’s Center in Des Moines, Iowa. He made an immediate impact by attacking Je’Von Evans after “The Young OG” picked up a victory over Ethan Page, signaling that the 7-foot powerhouse is officially back in WWE.
While the return itself generated plenty of discussion, viewers quickly noticed another detail during the segment — commentator Corey Graves remained unusually quiet as Cass made his entrance and laid out Evans. In contrast, Michael Cole reacted with excitement, making Graves’ silence stand out even more.
The moment sparked speculation across social media, with some fans connecting Graves’ lack of commentary to Big Cass’ past relationship with Graves’ wife, former WWE star Carmella.
Cass and Carmella dated from 2014 until 2017. Their split drew attention at the time after reports surfaced alleging that an incident between the two became physical, with Cass reportedly grabbing Carmella’s arm before other wrestlers intervened.
Several viewers shared their observations online, as you can see below:
“Anyone noticed that Corey Graves has remained quiet in regards to Big Cass returning and him being rough with Carmella? 🤔 #WWERAW #RawOnNetflixx”
Another fan wrote,
“Big Cass just made his return and I noticed that Corey Graves stayed quiet the whole time and for all we know he’s probably not cool with him returning since Big Cass got rough with Carmella back when they were dating #WWERAW #RawOnNetflix”
A third viewer simply posted,
“corey graves not saying anything 😭😭”
As of now, Graves has not publicly commented on Big Cass’ return or addressed the online speculation.
