He was quoted as saying:
"It’s been crazy 24 hours. I know a lot of people are upset about the joke I made on The Bump about Taylor Swift. A lot of you don’t know me, or who I am, so for those people, my name is Grayson Waller. Hottest superstar in WWE right now. I host the Grayson Waller Effect. To sum everything up… I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you define yourself by another woman and her accomplishments. It’s kinda sad, to be honest. Now all these swamp donkeys in my DMs saying mean things. Saying I am a zero out of ten. Leave the roasting to professionals, stick to tying friendship bracelets like four-year-olds." [0:05 - 0:48]
