WWE's Corey Graves, Carmella Get Married; Jon Moxley, Bayley, More Attend
Apr 8, 2022
WWE's Corey Graves and Carmella got married Thursday in Florida after about six months of being engaged.
According to TMZ Sports, several current and former WWE Superstars were in attendance for the wedding.
WWE's Bayley, Natalya, Tamina, Liv Morgan, Sonya Deville and Happy Corbin were all present, as were Jon Moxley and Renee Paquette.
Moxley is a current AEW star who was on WWE's main roster as Dean Ambrose from 2012-19. Paquette is Moxley's wife, and she was in WWE under the name Renee Young from 2012-20 as an announcer and interviewer.
Wrestling News tweeted a photo of Moxley and many of the other wrestling guests who were at the wedding:
Graves and Carmella, who went public with their relationship in 2019, have been fixtures in WWE for many years.
The 38-year-old Graves signed with the company in 2011 as an in-ring performer, but concussions ended his career. He transitioned into an announcing role, and he has been a main roster commentator since 2016.
Carmella, 34, signed with WWE in 2013 and reached the main roster in 2016. She won the first-ever women's Money in the Bank ladder match and successfully cashed in the contract to become SmackDown women's champion.
Graves is currently a commentator on Raw, and Carmella is also part of the Raw roster after recently dropping the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships to Sasha Banks and Naomi at WrestleMania 38 along with her partner, Queen Zelina.

Brian Kendrick Pulled from AEW Dynamite Card After Offensive Comments Surface
Feb 3, 2022
All Elite Wrestling removed Brian Kendrick from Wednesday's Dynamite card after antisemitic and other offensive comments he made in the past surfaced prior to the show.
AEW president Tony Khan confirmed Kendrick won't compete in his scheduled match against Jon Moxley:
We’ve been made aware of abhorrent & offensive comments made in the past by Brian Kendrick. There’s no room in AEW for the views expressed by Brian. We think it’s best for all that Brian be pulled from tonight’s card as we gather more info. We’ll announce a replacement bout ASAP.
In one video from 2011, Kendrick references a conspiracy theory about "Jewish medics" arriving in the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake and harvesting the organs of the victims.
Culture Crossfire recapped a 2013 video Kendrick recorded for Highspots in which he downplayed the Holocaust and repeated a false claim that the extent of the genocide was "overblown."
Kendrick also repeated other debunked conspiracy theories on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the moon landing, the September 11 terror attacks and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Kendrick took to Twitter on Wednesday night to apologize, saying he "crossed the line":
I apologize for all the hurt and embarassment I have caused with my words. These are not my beliefs and never were beliefs of mine, and I crossed the line.
Kendrick last wrestled in October 2020. He spent a number of years with WWE across multiple spells. The 42-year-old was a two-time tag team champion and won the NXT Cruiserweight Championship in 2016.
Across 2021 and into 2022, Kendrick worked in a backstage role with WWE. He was released from the company Tuesday, with AEW quickly announcing he'd be returning to the ring.
