Grayson Waller is confident that he could hold his own with The Rock.
Speaking with Peter Rosenberg on Cheap Heat, Waller was asked to share his thoughts on The Rock’s return on WWE SmackDown. When asked whether he wanted The Rock to be on The Grayson Waller Effect, the Australian star noted that he didn’t know if The Rock was ready.
“I don’t know if The Rock’s ready for the Waller Effect. He’s been away a while. I’m already helping out John Cena, I’ve got a lot that I’m carrying right now. My back is sore from carrying these legends, so I don’t know, Rock’s a big boy, that’s a lot to carry. I was backstage, I wanted to go get my chap stick from the car. So I go to my car, I come back, and then all of a sudden, people say, ‘Hey, you know The Rock was here?’ I’m like, ‘What’re you talking about? The Rock wasn’t here.’ Turns out he was.
“I ran through that venue. I checked every door and every room. That brother, as soon as he found out that I was coming back, he got on his tour bus, him and Pat McAfee went back to Colorado to hang out with Deon Sanders. The Rock didn’t want to bar with Grayson Waller.”
Waller also noted that The Rock is on a different level on the microphone, and he can appreciate that.
Grayson Waller: I Can Compete With The Rock
During the interview, Grayson Waller was asked whether he would want to have The Rock on The Grayson Waller Effect. Waller stated that he would, and he claimed that he could compete with the former world champion.
“More than anything,” he said. “I always look at the Waller Effect, obviously it’s an entertainment product, I like having the show, I like saying mean things to people. But I see it as a test for myself because I like to test myself against the best because that’s how I’m gonna get better. So having someone like Cody Rhodes on the show, who’s very good on the microphone, John Cena on the show, this is me testing myself, [and] I wanna see where I’m at.
“I think The Rock is the best, so that would be a great test for Grayson Waller to see where I’m at. I feel 100% I can compete and maybe even roll over him, which not many people can say they can do.”
Waller then pointed out that The Rock can’t work right now due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. He went on to claim that The Rock will be be begging to face him at Elimination Chamber.
