Grayson Waller wouldn’t mind slapping this WWE star in the face.
Waller has been one of the major names pushed as part of the new age in NXT 2.0. He has worked with several top stars in the brand, with Solo Sikoa and Johnny Gargano two of the notable names.
Speaking on Beyond The Lead, Waller was asked if social media has ever landed him in hot water.
I have no problem slapping Logan Paul in the face. He wants to walk in and all of a sudden, he’s the guy, I’m the guy. Whether it’s across from The Miz or standing next to him, that’s something I would like to do,”
“I’m constantly in hot water. That’s kind of where I live. The thing with social media these days, you kind of have to in a way. You have to have some type of personality online. Whether that’s you’re funny or inspirational, you have to find your niche. I’m really good at talking trash. I say talking truth, because everything I say is true, but that’s my niche. I say mean things about people. Some people have issues with it. The real ones come to me face-to-face, tell me they have an issue, and we have a discussion about it. Others will talk behind my back and all that type of stuff. Either way, people are talking about me. I think social media is a hugely important tool for any professional wrestler. It can find you an audience that was never there before and it can build things. I don’t want to just go out there and have a match on TV that no one cares about. There is no fun in that. For me, personally, if I’m wrestling someone and I don’t hate them, it’s not fun. I do it partly for comedy because it’s funny, but I also do it partly to fire myself up so when I stand across the ring from someone, it’s like, ‘we’re going to throw down.'”
Grayson Waller to Beyond The Lead
Time will tell if Grayson will get the chance to slap Logan Paul in the face, but for now the social media superstar will continue to feud with The Miz into SummerSlam.
