Kofi Kingston says he’s excited to get the chance to face off against the Motor City Machine Guns now that they’re in WWE.
While appearing on a recent edition of the “Battleground Podcast,” Kingston commented on Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin joining WWE early this year. He said,
“It’s amazing, man. I feel like Shelley and Sabin are icons, and the tag team aura of WWE like, it’s crazy that they are here now, and they’re champions. Of course, they’re champions, because that’s how good they are. That’s how talented they are.”
He continued, “Yeah, we are looking forward to that opportunity. For sure. We’ve got to figure out a way to either get to SmackDown or get them to Raw, and have that banger that has been a fantasy booking match that we never, ever thought was going to be possible. But here we are.”
Grayson Waller is having a ton of fun teaming with Austin Theory these days.
During a recent appearance on the “Casual Conversations with The Classic” podcast, Waller commented on his partnership with Theory as part of A-Town Down Under.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On being teamed with Theory: “We kind of knew each other from a mutual friend before I got called up. When I did, we worked out, were pretty similar guys. We have similar work ethics, we have a similar drive, so we started working together a little bit, and then I think it’s a case of when you see something that works, you just run with it. All the sudden, we were teaming more and more, and now it’s been over a year that we’ve even tag-teaming together, and I very much enjoy it.”
On the team’s success: I don’t think anyone grows up picturing themselves as a tag team wrestler. I think when you’re a kid, everyone’s like, ‘I’m the champion, I’m the world champion.’ But then when you get into a tag team, I think we’ve had a lot of opportunities we might not have had if we were both doing singles at the same time. We’ve been in there with Cody [Rhodes], Randy [Orton], Kevin [Owens] multiple times. We’ve won tag team championships, we’ve been in big shows, and I think it’s the advantage of us being a team and us being so driven and working hard together that has given us those opportunities.”
