Professional wrestler Grayson Waller, known for his outspoken personality, recently appeared on a breakfast show interview while promoting WWE's upcoming event Elimination Chamber: Perth in his home country of Australia. However, things quickly took a turn as Waller became visibly frustrated and felt disrespected during the chat.
It all began innocently enough as Waller and fellow wrestler LA Knight were asked to demonstrate their signature finishing moves. Knight, known for his catchphrases that have garnered mainstream attention, was hesitant but eventually passed the baton to Waller, also known as the "Aussie Icon."
The hosts then attempted to involve their departing floor manager, who jokingly started to mock and trash talk Waller. This seemingly harmless banter quickly escalated as Waller became agitated, stating that he would not fake a punch and would actually hit the crew member in the jaw. He then called out host Matt Shrivington for his comments, stating that he was being disrespectful and should not act tough.
Although Shrivington tried to defuse the situation, Waller continued to confront both him and the crew member, demanding respect. This incident left viewers unsure of what to make of it, with some believing it was planned and others praising Waller for standing up for the business.
Waller's outspoken personality has often caused controversy, and this incident was no exception. However, he has also gained support from fans who appreciate his passion and dedication to the industry. Some fans even praised his handling of the situation, with one saying he "handled it perfectly."
In a previous interview, Waller expressed his nerves about performing in front of an Australian crowd under the WWE banner. He acknowledged the risks he has taken in the past to put on memorable performances and admitted to being worried that there may be no limit to what he will do to make an impact in his home country.
