Grayson Waller Has Issue With WWE Star:

Grayson Waller has admitted that his start to the year has been less than ideal.

Waller likely believed that 2024 was going to be his year. On top of WWE Elimination Chamber being hosted in his native country of Australia, the SmackDown star will be hopeful for a prominent spot on the WrestleMania 40 card.

Unfortunately, Waller’s match did not get the result he wanted. At NXT New Year’s Evil, Waller challenged Trick Williams to a match with William’s opportunity at NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov on the line. As the referee was distracted by Carmelo Hayes, Kevin Owens appeared at the ringside area and attacked Waller, helping Williams to win the match.

Things would not get much better later in the week as Owens punched United States Champion Logan Paul in the face after earning an opportunity at The Maverick at the Royal Rumble. With Waller and his friends being constantly attacked, the SmackDown star has addressed his issues publicly.

Waller took to social media to announce that his first-ever action figure is now available. Starting the video by addressing his recent bad luck, Waller believed that Shawn Michaels was ungrateful for the recent appearance and that he was assaulted by Owens:

“2024 hasn’t really started off the way that I was hoping for. Last Tuesday, I go to NXT because Ilja Dragunov is too scared to fight Trick Williams, and I save the show. You’re welcome, Shawn Michaels. But what thanks do I get? I get assaulted, punched in the face by Kevin Owens for no reason at all.”

Waller continued, stating that he was unhappy that Owens once again attacked someone with no repercussions. With Waller, Logan Paul and Austin Theory all attacked by Owens, Waller claimed that his own safety was at risk:

“I got cuts inside my lip, my jaw is sore. What do I see while I’m watching the show? Kevin Owens punches Logan Paul, the United States Champion, in the face for no reason at all. Me and Theory had enough. We go and check on Logan backstage. Because you know what? We’re starting to fear for our lives backstage. There’s a madman running around punching people.”

Waller stating that he feared for his life is of course a reference to the public address that Tony Khan made after firing CM Punk from AEW following the events that occurred at All In. Shortly after the firing, Grayson Waller poked fun at CM Punk’s exit on social media.

Grayson Waller Nearly Attacked By WWE Fan

Although a lot of comments made by Waller are in jest, a fan at a live event failed to see the funny side. As Grayson Waller cut a promo at the house show, the WWE fan jumped the guardrail and attempted to attack the SmackDown star.
