WWE organized the draft 2023 just a couple of months ago and a number of NXT talents have got promotions on the main roster. One of the fortunate ones was the Australian star Grayson Waller who had been pretty impressive in his two year NXT stint and was also involved in some exciting feuds.
But Waller did not have any match yet since joining the main roster. The only thing we have seen him conducting was his Talk Show ‘Grayson Waller Effect’ where he has hosted some big names till now. Recently Waller shared a video on Twitter where he revealed the reason behind not having any match on the main roster yet;
Unmasking the Truth: Grayson Waller Sheds Light on the Factors Behind Not Wrestling On Smackdown
“In my last match in NXT against Carmelo Hayes I broke my leg. Clean break of the fibia. But because I’m a straight up gangster from southwestern Sydney I kept going and I was moments away from becoming NXT champion. Fast forward two weeks, I hobble on crutches into the WWE Draft and SmackDown, with the steal of the entire Draft, chooses Grayson Waller despite the fact that I couldn’t wrestle, I could barely even walk. The reality is Grayson Waller on one leg has more value than 99-percent of wrestlers with two.
“So what did I do? Week after week on FOX I entertained millions with ‘The Grayson Waller Effect,’ the hottest talk show in pro wrestling, rubbing shoulders with the biggest stars in the game: AJ Styles, Charlotte Flair, Asuka, the next tag team champions Pretty Deadly, and this Friday on FOX I have the biggest star in the entire industry, Logan Paul.
Grayson Waller Was Injured Recently
“But let’s stop talking about the talk show for a bit because I keep seeing what everyone is saying online. Am I just a talk show host now? If I was, I guarantee I’d be the greatest talk show host in the history of this company. But as good as I am on ‘The Grayson Waller Effect,’ as good as I am on the microphone, I’m better in the ring. So the question is: when am I back?
“Well, I have good news but I have bad news. The bad news is I don’t owe a thing to you social media flops. See, what I’ve learned the last eight weeks, all the pain, all the suffering, all the rehab doing everything I could possibly do to make sure when I come back I’m in the best shape of my life, people online couldn’t care less; the ‘fans’ couldn’t care less. They didn’t celebrate the fact that I was on SmackDown every week. They b*tched and they complained because I wasn’t wrestling.”
Grayson Waller is indeed one of the most talented stars of WWE at this moment and surely he has a bright future in WWE. He was pretty impressive in the NXT in spite his failure to win any titles in the brand. There is no concrete on WWE’s current plans about the Australian professional wrestler but we hope he has a great future lying ahead of him in WWE.
