And when I wreath around him and hooked him, I literally could only hook three knuckles on my fingers and get my arms all the way around.

I was like, you know what? Here we go.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to After the Bell. I am still Corey Graves. And if I sound a little more trash than usual, it's because I feel more trash than usual.

Lucky for me, lucky for you. My first mate on this ship is standing by ready to steer us away from the iceberg in the very, very near distance.

He is the big bird to my Oscar, the grouse. She is the voice of NXT is Vic Joseph. What's the word my friend?

I'm not laughing at you. I feel really bad for you. Don't feel bad for me.

I do feel bad because look, you had, I don't know how many flights you've been on. You had Smackdown, you had RAW, you have a life, you have the family, you're here.

Like I, there is no rest for the weary. I'm not laughing at you today, man. I'm laughing.

You can laugh at me. It's fine. I'm sure I owe you a few giggles. To the best of my mathematical ability, I've been on, I believe, 13 different flights since clash at the castle.

Most of which have been across the United States because we have been based in the Western region of the country for the better part of the last several weeks.

So I've got a few red eyes in there. I'm really put it this way, just give you a little perspective. I have not spent more than two days in the same time zone since prior to clash of the castle.

That was the beginning of the month. More than two days in a row. I've visited the same time zone multiple times, but I've never actually been there to acclimate for more than two days.

Such is life, right? We live in the circus. We are touring the globe. I am everybody's favorite clown, and I have to show up for work.

And I'll show you, I'll show up for work tonight on Friday night Smackdown, even though recording this several days prior.

So I've got about 72 hours to fully recover to bring you my dulcet tones on pause.

You know, it was a big week for me personally and NXT this past Tuesday celebrating the one year celebration. And I want to talk about that.

We also have to mention for the first time ever here on After the Bell will be Braun Shroom and can't wait to talk to Braun.

I know you've been around him a little bit more than I have recently. We're going to have him coming up in a matter of moments.

NXT 2.0 really, it's hard to imagine sort of in 12 months. I mean, Wade Bear and I were joking about it that the transitions that even we had to go through.

We had Beth Phoenix for a few months and then she stopped doing commentary and it was Wade and I. And all these superstars that really have stood out, grace and waller, Braun Breaker, pretty deadly, the Creed Brothers.

You've got to roster full of them now who you now know what these superstars are about and you're constantly getting new characters, new flavors sprinkled in throughout. But to your point, the Creed Brothers, I was fascinated by them the first time I saw them just because they were different.

I've grown to become a fan of pretty deadly. I think they're really very, very entertaining across the board. Braun Breaker is a bonafide legitimate superstar.
