The SmackDown announcer has nothing but good things to say about Ludwig Kaiser.
The German professional wrestler has been a part of the WWE main roster since Imperium were called up from NXT. Being Gunther’s primary hype man, Kaiser has not had much success in the tag team scene alongside Giovanni Vinci, but has recently been competing more in singles action as of late.
Speaking on WWE After The Bell, Graves commented on Kaiser’s recent backstage interaction with Maxxine Dupri and the rest of Alpha Academy, noting that he enjoyed the segment and believes Kaiser has potential as a main event star.
“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,”

Kaiser defeated Otis on Monday’s WWE Raw, where Graves was absent after the recent commentary shakeup in WWE.
With his recent momentum in singles action, we will have to wait and see what WWE’s plan for Kaiser will end up being.
