33-year-old WWE star’s recent performance has a positive backstage reaction - Reports
A 33-year-old WWE star's recent performance against a Hall of Famer has reportedly garnered a positive reaction backstage.
Grayson Waller has been one of the most consistent performers in WWE NXT. Although he failed to win the brand's top prize, he was a standout on the mic and exuded a lot of charisma and personality.
This led to him receiving his main roster call-up as part of this year's WWE Draft. Since being called up to the main roster, Waller was involved in some notable segments and his talk show the Grayson Waller Effect became a regular fixture on television.
Waller even got to share a ring with John Cena at Money in the Bank last weekend in London. Tonight on SmackDown, Waller shared the ring with Edge and also competed against the latter in his main roster debut match.
According to Fightful Select, the reaction to Waller's performance over the past week has been positive. This reaction is even before his clash against Edge which took place tonight.
"There was a lot of positive reception over Grayson Waller's performance over the past week, even before his match with Edge," per Fightful Select.
