Grayson Waller recently opened up about one of the wildest moments of his WWE career, recalling the experience of winning the SmackDown Tag Team Championships with Austin Theory at WrestleMania 40. The match, a six-pack ladder match involving Finn Balor and Damian Priest of The Judgment Day, A-Town Down Under, #DIY, New Day, New Catch Republic, and Awesome Truth, was a chaotic and unforgettable night.

Waller, speaking on the Casual Conversations with The Classic, described the euphoric feeling of achieving his lifelong dream of wrestling at WrestleMania, let alone winning a championship. He recalled the surreal experience of being in the empty stadium during the day, before the thousands of fans suddenly filled in, creating an electric atmosphere.

In addition to his wrestling exploits, Grayson Waller is also known for his love of trash talk. Ahead of the WWE’s visit to Jacksonville on December 26, Waller took a shot at the city’s football team, the Jaguars, and their quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Waller joked that even Santa Claus himself couldn’t make Lawrence a good quarterback, it being physically impossible. This lighthearted jab is a testament to Waller’s wit and ability to poke fun at himself and others in a playful manner.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars are having a tough season, with a current record of 2-9 and a dwindling chance of making the playoffs. Grayson Waller, a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, may be enjoying the Jaguars’ struggles as he watches his favorite team dominate the NFL terrain. His humorous comments on the Jacksonville Jaguars and Trevor Lawrence serve as a reminder that even amidst the intensity and competition of professional sports, there is always room for humor and lightheartedness.

Grayson Waller’s recent comments highlight the thrill of competing at WrestleMania, the joy of winning a championship, and the importance of humility and humor in professional wrestling. His achievement at WrestleMania 40 will forever be remembered as a highlight of his career, and his ability to connect with fans through his wit and humor makes him a fan favorite in the WWE.
