In 2013, he challenged Seth Rollins for the NXT Championship. Sadly, interference from The Shield put paid to his chances. He transitioned to a feud with the group and later began feuding with The Wyatt Family and their leader Bray Wyatt.

He also teamed up with Kassius Ohno, and Adrian Neville on separate occasions, leading them to win the NXT Tag Team Championship.

They held it for three months before losing to The Ascension. He then had a feud with Neville and suffered two concussions within the next few months, which led him to his absence from television for an extended period.

In 2014, Graves announced that he was officially retiring due to concussion issues. He joined the NXT commentary team and was added to the pre-show panel for Raw.

He became a colour commentator for Raw, though still providing commentary for NXT, until “NXT Takeover: San Antonio”. In Raw, he worked with Byron Saxton and Michael Cole and joined the commentary team for 205 Live alongside Mauro Ranallo.
