Waller was set to face Dexter Lumis but the latter wasn't cleared to compete after being hit with a chair last week. Odyssey Jones came out as the replacement and Waller was walking out before the match even started.
Jones taunted him and called Waller a b*tch and Grayson came back to start the match.
