Grayson Waller Says He Might Have Had The Greatest Week From One Performer After His Clashes With John Cena And Edge

Grayson Waller discusses his incredible week.

Grayson Waller has had an incredible rise since being drafted to SmackDown during the WWE Draft. Despite being hampered by a broken leg injury, he has been front and center as one of the faces of the brand. This culminated last week in an incredible one for the Australian born star.

First, at Money In The Bank, Waller interrupted a surprise appearance by John Cena, before facing Edge in his SmackDown debut on Friday’s show at Madison Square Garden. Despite eating an AA and a loss to Edge, Waller remains confident in himself.

Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Waller reflected on his incredible run as of late.

“I’m not surprised, to be honest. When I got drafted to SmackDown, this is what I knew was gonna happen. If you talk about a one-week period in WWE history? I have Logan Paul on the show, global superstar Logan Paul. I’m then in The O2 Arena in London, sold-out arena with John Cena, and then a week later, my main roster debut is in the main event at Madison Square Garden against Hall of Famer Edge. I think that might be the biggest week in the history of WWE for one performer, and as Edge said, I swam, too. I’m real good at what I do, lad. I keep telling people,” 

“I gotta be honest, it’s surreal. You think about these things for a long time, and then all of a sudden, it’s happening. You’re talking about him going out, not being in the ring for a few months. What about Grayson Waller? Last time I was in a ring, I broke my leg against Carmelo Hayes. So this performance in the main event at Madison Square Garden, I did barely two months after breaking my leg. So congrats, Edge, you beat 60% Grayson Waller. I’d love to see what you could do against 100% Grayson Waller because I guarantee [you], that Spear isn’t enough. He wasn’t ready for what was in my arsenal. You could even see the look on his face a few times. He was surprised. I don’t think he was ready for what I had,”

“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. Personally, I think a lot of people say a lot about Grayson Waller because I talk, because I have the talk show. I talk a big game, but the thing is, every time I get in the ring, I back it up. For someone like Edge to basically tell the world, ‘Hey, 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 that’s done so much in this business recognized that yeah, I talk a lot, but I back it up every time,”

We will have to wait and see if Waller will be able to keep up his momentum on the blue brand.
