WWE adds more fuel to tag team split rumors ahead of SmackDown
WWE called out a popular star ahead of tonight's SmackDown for his actions last week. Tonight's edition of SmackDown will feature a massive Gauntlet Match to determine the number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
Grayson Waller and Austin Theory (A-Town Down Under) captured the titles at WrestleMania but recently dropped them to Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano (#DIY) on SmackDown. The former champions will not be in the Gauntlet Match on SmackDown, and the company has called out Grayson Waller on Instagram ahead of tonight's show.
The promotion shared a video of Waller for seemingly shoving Theory in front of a Cody Cutter last week on the blue brand. You can check out the video in the Instagram post below.
"You’re leaving your boy out to dry, @graysonwallerwwe 😬."
Grayson Waller and Austin Theory were defeated by Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes in the main event of last week's edition of WWE SmackDown. However, The Bloodline brutally attacked Owens and Rhodes after the match.
Konnan claims Grayson Waller needs to make major change in WWE
Wrestling legend Konnan recently stated that Grayson Waller needs to consider making a change on SmackDown.
Grayson Waller was called up to the main roster last year and has had quite the run so far. He interrupted John Cena last year at Money in the Bank in London and also battled Edge in a singles match at Madison Square Garden.
Speaking on his Keepin' It 100 podcast, Konnan stated that Waller should change his Rolling Cutter finisher as it is countered all the time.
"Here's the only problem that I'm having with that, [Grayson Waller's] done that four or five times already where he rolls into the ring and gets hit with something, he needs to hit the guy with something now before it just, you know what I'm saying, the novelty wears off," Konnan said.

The promotion has called out Grayson Waller in the past for leaving his tag team partner behind. Only time will tell if A-Town Down Under is on the verge of breaking up on SmackDown.
