Besides his commentary and his love for wrestling, Corey Graves is also known for the ink he gets.
The WWE wrestler turned broadcaster has his fair share of tattoos and just recently got another one done for a friend we’ve all lost too soon in Bray Wyatt.
Corey Graves and Bray Wyatt were both members of the NXT roster down in the early days of the “black and gold” era back around 2013. Each would eventually find their spotlight on the main roster, Graves behind the commentary table and Wyatt in the ring and outside of it as a stand-out persona.
Wyatt sadly passed away on August 24 following a cardiac arrest and so many colleagues and legends in the business paid homage to the talented third-generation star. Graves decided to honor Bray in his own fashion by getting a tattoo done of The Fiend persona. Tattoo artist Odeel from Lady Moon Tattoo Parlor out of Pittsburgh shared the new ink they’ve got to do for a long-time patron in Corey Graves. Odeel also reveals an added fact about how far their friendship goes back.
“It was a real honor today to tattoo this Bray Wyatt tribute piece on my long time homie, Corey Graves. Thanks as always for your trust and friendship all these years.
“Side fact: Not only does Corey Graves have the first tattoo I ever did,… he also has the first Godzilla tattoo I ever did!”

There are two other WWE Superstars who also took the time to get ink honoring Wyatt. Karrion Kross, Shotzi, writer Rob Fee and Braun Strowman all got ink to commemorate the friendship, kindness and legacy of the late Windham Rotunda.
