Grayson Waller isn’t here to bow down—and he’s not shy about letting the world know it. While speaking with Robbie & Carly, the WWE star opened up about how he approaches dealing with legends in the business, and his perspective is anything but humble.

“It’s obviously super surreal. And as a wrestling fan growing up, like, if I go back to me at 15 and tell him some of the stories about the people I’d be in the ring with, I think he wouldn’t think it was real,” Waller admitted. But sentiment quickly turned to strategy.

“I always feel that the best way to show respect to these legends and say thank you for the platform that you’ve given us is to go as hard as you can at them,” he explained. “I don’t think kissing ass and, you know, trying to be their best friend is the best way to say thank you for what they did.”

And he’s not just talking tough behind the scenes—Waller has built his entire brand on confrontation. “I think the best way to do that is to go in and try and take from them. Be like, I want to be on your level, and I’m going to go out and I’m going to say the wildest things I can.”

He also understands what this kind of approach does for the fans. “From a fan perspective too, they hold these people in such high esteem. So when they see someone like this stupid Australian Grayson Waller coming out and trying to fight Shawn Michaels, I think that gets a great reaction too—because they know if they were in that situation, they would never say something like that to someone who’s done so much. And I have no problem doing those things.”

Grayson Waller continues to divide opinion—part self-aware troll, part fearless performer. Love him or hate him, the man doesn’t plan on staying quiet, and he’s dead set on punching his ticket to the Crown Jewel card in his hometown of Perth.
