As the excitement builds around WWE’s SummerSlam event, rising star Grayson Waller has been making headlines with his heated feud against The Rock. Amidst the speculation surrounding The Rock’s potential return, Waller has taken a cheeky jibe at another Hall of Famer.
The WWE star’s bold remarks have sparked curiosity among fans, who are eager to see how this rivalry unfolds in the ring. As the countdown to SummerSlam continues, all eyes are on Grayson Waller and his intriguing antics.
Grayson Waller’s online feud with The Rock
Last week, WWE’s rising star Grayson Waller made his highly anticipated in-ring debut on the main roster at the iconic Madison Square Garden, the very venue where The Rock made his debut at Survivor Series in 1996. Taking a cheeky jab at the Brahma Bull, Waller boldly claimed that his own debut was the greatest of all time, playfully mocking The Rock’s Rocky Maivia outfit from his debut years.
This witty remark prompted a fiery response from the People’s Champion, who didn’t hold back in his comeback. The Rock referred to Waller as an “outback jack-off” and revealed an interesting tidbit about a young Triple H being an inspiration for the Rocky Maivia persona.
The feud between Grayson Waller and The Rock had initially played out exclusively online but took a new turn during a backstage segment on SmackDown with Cathy Kelley. During the segment, the Australian Superstar continued to reference their online exchanges, highlighting The Rock’s apparent preoccupation with him despite the ongoing drama in his own family on SmackDown.
