Grayson Waller reflects on his buzzworthy moment with John Cena at WWE Money in the Bank.
Cena made a surprise appearance at WWE Money in the Bank and hyped up the crowd at The O2 Arena by suggesting that WrestleMania should come to London. Waller interrupted and insulted London, and Cena ultimately dropped him with an Attitude Adjustment.
Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Waller reflected on sharing the ring with the 16-time world champion. He predicted that he would see Cena again after their first encounter ended with the veteran standing tall.
“I was nothing but a good guy. I go out there and I just want to meet John Cena. He’s a legend of the game. I wanna go out there and say hello. What a treat for him, being back and he gets to be in the ring with Grayson Waller, the hottest thing in WWE right now. But then he wants to have this fake thing about he wants WrestleMania in London. No one wants WrestleMania. London is terrible, I don’t know why anyone would want to have the show there.
“So I come out, and I give a better idea, we gave WrestleMania in Australia. You would love it. The beach is there, the food is better, the energy’s better. He goes and attacks a man who has barely recovered from a broken leg. Everyone’s talking about John Cena’s a nice guy. He attacked a still-injured man. I don’t know, it was very disrespectful, and I know I’ll be seeing John Cena again one day.”
When asked whether he would still want to have Cena as a guest on The Grayson Waller Effect, the SmackDown star noted that he would. He stated that he never let his rivalries get in the way of his mission to put on a good show. Waller also shared his belief that Cena could use the show to get his mojo back.
“I would 100% have him on the show. I never let my personal rivalries get in the way of having a good show,” Waller said. “I had Shawn Michaels on my show, and me and Shawn Michaels don’t like each other. I would have John Cena on the show, and I think it’s something he needs. I know he’s got ‘Peacemaker’ season seven or whatever he’s doing, but when it comes to the WWE, what has he done lately besides lose? So I think he kind of needs someone like Grayson Waller to bring him back, give him maybe some of his mojo back, and I think that would be great on the talk show.”
Waller followed up his moment with Cena by main-eventing the July 7 episode of WWE SmackDown; he lost to WWE Hall of Famer Edge in a hard-fought match. More information is available here.
