WWE commentator Corey Graves has seemingly tweeted an indirect response to Booker T who recently challenged Graves to a fight onĀ his radio show "Heated Conversations" episode 143Ā after the WWE Hall of FamerĀ claimed that Graves was the reason why he was removed from the commentary team on Monday Night Raw.
āThus the expert in battle moves the enemy, and is not moved by him.ā

In case you missed Booker T's comment, below is a transcript of what he said on his radio show, courtesy of CageSideSeats.com:
āPeople ask me about Corey Graves. Corey Graves is good at what he does, you know? Corey Graves, heās thrown jabs at me, Iāve thrown jabs back, you know? And you know, the thing is Corey Graves, of course, yeah, heās a college educated young man. His vernacular is a little different than mine. You see that word I just used? Threw that out there - just want you people to know, I aināt studied this, itās just something that we just threw out.
But I tell you, if I got Corey Graves into a fisticuffs, I would beat him down like he stole something. I would be whooping his ass all day long. Because thatās the thing - my thing is this. Iām a nice guy, until you get on my bad side. Corey Graves, right now, I wouldnāt necessarily say heās on my bad side, but heās the reason that Iām not onĀ Monday Night RawĀ right now. Because, you know what, a lot of people in the company thought I was gonna jump on him, I was gonna do something bad to him, I was gonna drag him, I was gonna take him out to the woodshed, I was gonna beat that man so bad, I was gonna beat him until this man say, āPlease, please, please, just donāt beat me any more.ā
Thatās how hot I was getting. Thatās how close I was getting. So, they said, āHey, Book. Weāre gonna take - step back a second, alright? Weāre gonna regroup, alright, weāre gonna press the rewind button. Weāre gonna send you back to the Kickoff show ofĀ SmackDown,Ā Monday Night RawĀ pay-per-views and cool you down for a second. Cause we donāt want you to do anything to Corey Graves, because we know what you could do to him. We know Corey Graves could do... heās sitting there for a reason, man. Heās sitting there for a reason, and Corey Graves knows it.
You know what? Iāll tell you this here. I want all you people out there to know, you heard it right hereĀ Heated Conversations, Sports Radio 610, itās probably gonna make all the dirt sheets like Meltzer and all those guys. But if I catch Corey Graves on the street, Iām gonna do something to him. Alright? I aināt gonna do it at the office or anything like that. But if I catch him... not gonna do it in the airport, nah, Iām not gonna do that. But if I catch Corey Graves on the street? You see that little bouffant hairdo he got? Iām gonna rearrange it for him. Alright? Iām just saying. Iām just saying... Let me catch him at Starbucks. Iām a tattoo him...
Heās one of those guys gonna have to walk it like he talk it... Me personally, everybody knows my reputation... I get mean, when you mess with my green. And right now, my green is being messed with, you know what I mean? So, me and Corey Graves...Ā WrestleManiaĀ coming up, right? Thereās room for one more match. Right now, on my show,Ā Heated Conversations, Sports Radio 610, Iām calling Corey Graves out to a fight. Not a match. Not a pre-show posedown or anything like that. Iām calling Corey Graves out to a fight.ā
