Grayson Waller Felt He Was Going To Be Released - Fightful
The Australian star said a worked-shoot promo and a new presentation helped him rebound after fearing WWE would release him.
The WWE NXT Champion Grayson Waller credits his return to NXT with saving his career, describing his pivotal promo as the most important moment of his life.
After losing to Oba Femi on WWE Raw earlier this year, Waller feared he would be released, noting he felt invisible on the main roster as younger talent arrived.
Speaking on the Insight Podcast, Waller admitted he was "100%" certain he would be fired; Shawn Michaels granted him creative freedom for the promo that changed everything.
Defending the NXT Championship, Waller faces Tony at NXT Halloween Havoc on Saturday, putting his title reign to the test immediately.
Waller intends to prove the main roster wrong for underutilizing him, maintaining a veteran presence to demonstrate what a real WWE Superstar work ethic demands.
