Before being drafted to SmackDown back in April, Grayson Waller was already being tipped for big things.
The star had been a key part of NXT for two years and was coming off a headlining feud with Bron Breakker – which also included Shawn Michaels – when he was called up to the main roster.
While he is yet to wrestle on the blue brand, he has already made his presence felt by hosting several editions of The Waller Effect on the show and is reportedly set for big things.
Grayson Waller has a lot of support behind the scenes in WWE
While giving a cryptic preview of the June 16th edition of SmackDown, WRKD Wrestling revealed that Waller has “a lot of support” backstage and will be given “more time to shine.”
Waller will indeed be getting some time to shine as it has been announced that The Waller Effect is back this week with Charlotte Flair as his guest.
“Notes ahead of #Smackdown:
– Roman’s MITB match becomes clear
– Tensions rise between IYO/Bayley
– LA Knight vs. Santos
– Waller, having a lot of support behind the scenes, gets more time to shine
– Someone may lose their MITB spot next week”

The hint that Roman Reigns‘ match at Money In The Bank will “become clear” comes as The Bloodline is in turmoil with Jimmy Uso seemingly on the opposite side of The Head of the Table and Solo Sikoa standing with his Tribal Chief. Meanwhile, Jey Uso’s loyalties are unclear, but many expect to see Reigns and Sikoa take on the former Undisputed Tag Team Champions in the near future.
Before Money In The Bank hits London, though, Reigns has another obstacle to face as he will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship for the first time since WrestleMania 38 when he clashes with Rey Mysterio at a live event on June 17th.
