Speaking on WWE After The Bell, Graves and co-host Kevin Patrick commented on Kaiser's backstage interaction with Maxxine Dupri on WWE Raw. Both announcers were fans of the segment, leading the following praise from Graves.

"Ludwig Kaiser has been a piece of the Imperium machine, he's been the perfect set dressing on the main event that is Gunther, but after seeing what I saw on Monday, I'm going to make a bold prediction right here, right now, Ludwig Kaiser, sooner rather than later, should be a main event player in WWE. I'm not expecting it to happen overnight, I'm not expecting him to be the one to knock off Gunther or anything of the sort, but he was so captivating, entertaining, eloquent, and all these other adjectives. Watching him interact with Maxxine, Ludwig Kaiser felt like a full-blown movie villain, Jeremy Irons in Die Hard, that foreign, handsome, eloquent, never yells, is cool and calm and collected, he's getting under your skin and his facial expressions are so dead on. I was sitting on the couch with my wife [Carmella] and I said, 'This guy is amazing.' I expect big things out of Ludwig Kaiser in the not too distant future because that dude can do it all," said Graves.

Kaiser defeated Otis on Monday's WWE Raw.

Graves developed a Kaiser impression on WWE Raw commentary, but has since been moved to WWE SmackDown alongside Patrick and Michael Cole.
