Grayson Waller made his in-ring debut on the WWE main roster last week, in a defeat to 11-time world champion Edge on SmackDown.
The 33-year-old has featured prominently on television since being called up to the blue brand from NXT during the 2023 Draft. He has had stars such as AJ Styles, Logan Paul, and Charlotte Flair on his talk show 'The Grayson Waller Effect' and was even involved in an in-ring segment with John Cena at Money in The Bank in London.
Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Waller claimed he wasn't 100% when he faced off against the Rated-R Superstar in Madison Square Garden. The Australian hinted that if he were 100%, then he would have come out on top against the Hall of Famer. After a close-fought match, Edge defeated Waller after hitting him with a Spear.

"You talk about him [Edge] going out after not being in the ring for a few months, what about Grayson Waller? The last time I was in a ring, I broke my leg against Carmello Hayes, so this performance in the main event at Madison Square Garden I did barely two months after breaking my leg. So congratulations Edge, you beat 60% Grayson Waller. I'd love to see what you could do against 100% Grayson Waller because I can guarantee that Spear isn't enough," said Waller.
