Grayson Waller made his main roster in ring debut last week on Smackdown and he was pretty impressive in his first match. He worked in the NXT for a couple of years before joining the main roster where he was pretty entertaining and we are hoping to see he continues the good work in the main roster as well.
Upon his main roster, he was only seen hosting his Grayson Waller Effect talk show where he hosted some big WWE star. Last week on Smackdown he hosted WWE Hall of Famer Edge and it ultimately ended up being a match between the duo. Recently he spoke on WWE’s Bump where he talked about this match;
Smackdown – Grayson Waller’s Big Break: The Impact of Wrestling Edge During His Main Roster Introduction
“It’s surreal,” he said. “You think about these things for a long time and then all of a sudden it’s happening … Last time I was in a ring, I broke my leg against Carmelo Hayes. So this performance in the main event of Madison Square Garden, I did it barely two months after breaking my leg. Congrats, Edge.
“You beat 60-percent Grayson Waller. I’d love to see what you can do against 100-percent Grayson Waller because I guarantee that spear isn’t enough. He wasn’t ready for what’s in my arsenal. You can even see the look on his face a few time. He was surprised. I don’t think he was ready for what I had.”
Grayson Waller Faced Edge Last Week On Smackdown
“I’m sure as a ten-year-old when I was a fan, that would have been a huge moment, but for me, I’m not a fan anymore,” explained Waller. “Everyone else has got all these action figures and all these things. That’s not me. But personally, I think a lot of people say a lot about Grayson Waller because I talk.
“I have the talk show and I talk a big game, but the thing is that every time I get in the ring, I back it up. And for someone like Edge to basically tell the world he’s as good as he says he is, that meant a lot. It wasn’t from a fan perspective that it was a cool moment, it was from a professional perspective that someone who has done so much in this business recognized that I talk a lot, but I back it up every time.”
Waller remained out of action for a couple of months since he was not medically cleared to compete in the ring. His career might have started with a defeat but it was against the Rated R Superstar. There are big rumours that WWE has big plans for him and we could see him as a top star of the promotion soon.
