During a recent appearance on ESPN’s Beyond the Lead podcast, WWE NXT 2.0 Superstar Grayson Waller commented on Logan Paul signing with WWE and wanting to slap him in the face.
Additionally, Waller commented on the use of social media and whether it’s ever landed him in hot water.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his dream matchups and his thoughts on Logan Paul: “A year ago, I would have said AJ Styles, but all of a sudden ‘tick,’ that’s off the board. Someone a lot of people have mentioned as similar to me is The Miz. I don’t know if that’s me and him across from each other or standing side-by-side. That’s definitely something I need to tick off the list, as a huge Challenge and Real World fan, that would be all-time. I know he has stuff going on with Logan Paul. I have no problem slapping Logan Paul in the face. He wants to walk in and all of a sudden, he’s the guy, I’m the guy. Whether it’s across from The Miz or standing next to him, that’s something I would like to do.”
On if social media has ever gotten him in hot water: “I’m constantly in hot water. That’s kind of where I live. The thing with social media these days, you kind of have to in a way. You have to have some type of personality online. Whether that’s you’re funny or inspirational, you have to find your niche. I’m really good at talking trash. I say talking truth, because everything I say is true, but that’s my niche. I say mean things about people. Some people have issues with it. The real ones come to me face-to-face, tell me they have an issue, and we have a discussion about it. Others will talk behind my back and all that type of stuff. Either way, people are talking about me. I think social media is a hugely important tool for any professional wrestler. It can find you an audience that was never there before and it can build things. I don’t want to just go out there and have a match on TV that no one cares about. There is no fun in that. For me, personally, if I’m wrestling someone and I don’t hate them, it’s not fun. I do it partly for comedy because it’s funny, but I also do it partly to fire myself up so when I stand across the ring from someone, it’s like, ‘we’re going to throw down.’”
