Grayson Waller Has Invited AJ Styles On His Talkshow This Week on Smackdown
Recently, he got promotion in the main roster as he got drafted to Friday Night Smackdown during the WWE Draft 2023. He did not get to wrestle any match yet but he invited his old rival AJ Styles in his Talkshow the Grayson Waller Effect on this week’s Smackdown. He spoke to the Australian Fox Sports outlet recently where he addressed this matter by saying;
“When I was a teenager, AJ Styles was my favourite wrestler. I got the opportunity to see him on a tour in Sydney when I was probably like 14-15. So I was always a big AJ fan. So he was always number one, and the fact that got to do it in NXT (feud with him) was wild. But that night was so important to me – because I feel like I didn’t just hang in there with him.
“It wasn’t a situation where like, ‘oh, wow, he hung with him’. I think I went in there, and I competed against him. And I kind of showed who I was. But I lost. So at the end of the day, I can’t take anything positive from it, because I lost – and that’s something that I’ve thought about a lot.
“Now he’s gonna be on my talk show this week, you know, Saturday morning on Binge on Smackdown. And I think that’s the biggest name you could possibly get,” he continued. “I need that rematch, lad. I need that so bad. I hate losing. I hate losing so much. I hate the fact that he can say he beat me. So I need to change that.”
