WWE Superstar Grayson Waller had almost signed with TNA, accoding to Dutch Mantell
Grayson Waller has swiftly ascended within WWE since his debut in 2021, earning a call-up to the main roster when SmackDown selected him during this year's Draft.
During an appearance on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk show, Dutch Mantell disclosed that he nearly signed Waller during his tenure in TNA. The Aussie Icon had sent Mantell his resume before making the leap to WWE.
"He sent his pic when I was in TNA. He sent his resume. I was gonna book him, but I think he got booked somewhere else. I looked at him, I said this kid's got something else. He has got what they call the 'It Factor,' and I think he's got it, and we'll see how far he goes," Dutch Mantell said.
It will be interesting to see what the Stamford-based promotion has in plans for the talented star.
