Edge praises Grayson Waller after defeating him on WWE SmackDown
Grayson Waller had his debut match against Edge in Madison Square Garden on the July 7th edition of WWE SmackDown.
Waller gave The Rated-R Superstar everything he had but it still was not enough. However, the 49-year-old complimented Waller in the ring after the match and delivered some more kind words about the up-and-comer in an interview on SmackDown LowDown.
"Well, I can understand that he [Grayson Waller] wants to talk a big game, he's trying to make his mark. He wants to get in John Cena's face, he wants to get in my face, I understand that because I was there and I can appreciate that. But he backed it up and if you can back it up, I'm okay with you talking all day along. So that's why I said he swam because he was in with the Rated-R Superstar in a sold-out Madison Square Garden. His first match on this roster, and he swam, so that says a lot about him," said Edge. [From 2:40 to 3:10]
Tonight's edition of WWE SmackDown could be a very memorable show. Only time will tell if anyone interferes in Edge's match tonight and if it will be the final time he steps foot inside a WWE ring.
