"Takeover continues" - Grayson Waller reacts to massive WWE debut this week
Grayson Waller is happy about a WWE debut that left several fans in shock and simultaneously hyped. The debut belonged to a fellow Australian star, prompting Waller to react.
Waller hasn't been able to take several steps ahead this year on SmackDown. While the post-WrestleMania season was promising as he and Austin Theory became SmackDown Tag Team Champions (now the WWE Tag Team Champions), they lost the titles to DiY's Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa and haven't gotten back to the promised land ever since.
Grayson Waller was, however, happy to see Zaria debut on NXT. If you missed it, the Adelaide superstar who signed a WWE contract after impressing people in the Perth Tryout (during the Elimination Chamber 2024 period) was another highly anticipated debut.
Known as Delta in Australia, her debut with a new name, "Zaria," saw her make a massive impact at the end of the latest episode of NXT. Waller said the Australian takeover continues:
"[Australian flag emoji] Takeover continues," he wrote.
For some context, Zaria and Rhea Ripley are both from Adelaide, and the former is an inch taller than Ripley - who has established herself as a dominant physical force on the main roster.
Australia seems to be churning out some incredible talents, and Zaria marks another major international signing for WWE. NXT women's division might be the best in professional wrestling, with names like Roxanne Perez, Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, Cora Jade, and now Zaria.
Grayson Waller made an interesting statement about the Cody Rhodes-Kevin Owens situation two months ago
During the tense moments between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens a few months ago, Grayson Waller made an interesting statement on Twitter: Rhodes has always been the villain in his story.
It's interesting because it was a month and a half before Owens finally turned on Cody Rhodes after Bad Blood 2024. According to KO, he didn't turn on him, but Cody turned on him by aligning with Roman Reigns, a man who has made Owens' life a living hell during their numerous feuds in WWE.
Many fans have agreed with Owens' sentiment, and it's safe to say that Waller will be one of the people backing the former Universal Champion.
