Corey Graves

Matthew Polinsky (born February 24, 1984) is an American professional wrestler currently signed to WWE The E-Fed on their Smackdown brand, under the ring name Corey Graves. He is a three-time World Heavyweight Champion, one-time WWE Tag Team Champion, one-time Hardcore Champion and one-time European Champion. Polinsky gained notoriety in the WWE as a member of The Alliance beginning in late 2012 and running through the first half of 2013.

The Alliance and World Heavyweight Champion
Keenan signed a WWE contract in November of 2012. He was brought in by good friend Jon Moxley during the indie wrestlers versus WWE storyline on Smackdown. Keenan wrestled through the end of 2012 as a member of The Alliance. The group dominated through the end of 2012 and the first half of 2013. In January of 2013, Keenan won the World Heavyweight Championship at New Year's Revolution (2013). With Moxley's disappearance from television due to real life personal issues, Keenan quickly became one of the leading members of The Alliance, alongside Lizzie Ryan. Keenan would suffer only two losses in his five month reign as World Heavyweight Champion as Smackdown management pushed to make him a top name of the show. During June 2013, Keenan would lose his World Heavyweight Championship at Invasion (2013) to Roman Reigns in a gauntlet match. The following Smackdown, Jon Moxley would return to the ring and disband The Alliance by attacking Keenan and proclaiming it dead. Keenan would begin feuding against a returning Moxley alongside Reigns and fellow Shield member Seth Rollins. Keenan would rekindle an alliance between himself and Wade Barrett, who had previously been kicked out of The Alliance. On the September 28, 2013 edition of Smackdown, Keenan would regain the World Heavyweight Championship after defeating Reigns in a lumberjack match.
