Grayson Waller predicts former WWE champion as Kevin Owens' mystery tag team partner ahead of SmackDown
WWE Superstar Grayson Waller and Austin Theory have been picking a bone with Kevin Owens for quite some weeks now. A-Town Down Under is set to face KO on the upcoming episode of SmackDown, in which he will be teaming up with a mystery partner. Interestingly, Waller predicted who could join The Prizefighter.
WWE SmackDown will move to the USA Network from FOX on September 13, 2024. The first episode after the change will see Theory and Waller go against Kevin Owens after a Triple Threat Handicap match last week. This week, however, Owens will be given a partner to face the former tag champions. Predicting the mystery wrestler, Waller posted a tweet on X.
The masked man in the GIF is El Generico, Sami Zayn’s Luchador avatar in the independent circuit. While Zayn and The Prizefighter have been tag team champions before, KO has a history of turning on Sami multiple times.
It would be rare for the former WWE Intercontinental Champion to make a crossover appearance. However, by pointing his finger at Zayn, Grayson Waller might be trying to provoke Kevin Owens ahead of the match.
This may not go well for the Australian superstar, especially when he has already paid the price for considering KO an easy target.
Grayson Waller goes too far while running his mouth about Kevin Owens
A few weeks ago, Grayson Waller was preparing himself for a match against Kevin Owens arranged by Austin Theory. The Aussie said that he had thrown him under the bus for making such a booking. However, Theory believed Waller had what it took to beat The Prizefighter.
Hyped by this, the former tag team champ started to badmouth Owens and even called him “an easy dub.” However, everything he said was heard by KO, who was standing right behind Waller and placed a hand on his shoulder.
The Prizefighter said that he ultimately agreed with the Aussie and should prove to everyone that he was an easy target.
The result, however, wasn’t pleasant for Waller, who was thrashed and beaten by KO during and after the match. It would be interesting to see who Kevin Owens' mystery tag partner is on Friday as he faces the former tag champs again.
