John Cena says that Grayson Waller reminds him of The Miz.
Grayson Waller has had an incredible first few months on the WWE main roster. Within weeks of him being announced as part of the SmackDown brand during the 2023 WWE Draft, he had already been in the ring with legends like Edge, John Cena and was in the process of working a social media feud with The Rock.
Now, Waller is in the midst of a run as part of a tag team with fellow brash heel Austin Theory on Friday nights.
In a new interview with WWE’s The Bump, Cena said that Waller reminds him of The Miz.
“Grayson reminds me a whole lot of Miz, like a lot. From all of Miz’s confidence/arrogance, he’s been here 19 years and he’s one of the most reliable, decorated, and elite performers in WWE history. The fact that he’s been here for 19 years and continues to crush it, I think that says good things about Grayson Waller. I like to see somebody come in with confidence. Looking back on my existence, I wish I had more confidence. I wish I had Grayson Walker’s swagger when I slapped Kurt Angle back in 2002. Instead, I timidly shook The Undertaker’s hand when I should have slapped him too. I didn’t have that ruthless aggression, he’s got it. I admire that and we all have something to learn, everyday is a chance to learn and grow and he’s got a few things to learn. As somebody who’s got a little more in-ring wisdom, I want to shake him. He’ll find all that stuff out, he’s got the first ingredient, he believes in who he is.”

We will have to wait and see if Cena and Waller will renew the rivalry they began back at Money In The Bank when they argued over what international destination will receive at WrestleMania in the future.
