Waller has been an active part of WWE television throughout 2025, most recently allying up with The New Day (Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston) after he and Austin Theory’s A-Town Down Under tag team unceremoniously split off screen.
While speaking to Insight With Chris Van Vliet in a new interview, Grayson Waller would explain that his goal for 2025 was to wrestle a PLE match in Australia, but explained how he loved getting the opportunity to wrestle in a dark match at home despite missing out on a spot on the Crown Jewel Perth card.
“That’s 100% my goal. That was my goal this year. And unfortunately, it didn’t get to happen, which is obviously disappointing, but I got to perform twice in front of my home crowd. I’ve been dialed in for six months. This is what all my focus was on getting on these shows. I told them, I don’t care how, put me out in front of that crowd, and that match against Fenix that I had before the show on SmackDown, that’s my most memorable match I’ve ever had. I know we’ve done WrestleMania, we’ve done all those which was so good, but for me, that was the one that got me. Because when I came out, you don’t know the reaction you’re going to get in all these different cities. Fenix went out and they love Fenix. He wears a mask, and now WWE fans love idiots in masks, like The Lucha Losers are super over, which sucks. But then when I went out, and the reaction I got, and then they’re booing Fenix. We’re on Main Event, we’re before the show, usually this isn’t the big stuff. So when they chant my name and that type of stuff like that meant a lot, because I always rep Australia, that’s what I’m really proud of, and to get that energy back from the crowd, that was my favorite match I’ve had.”
Elsewhere in another recent interview, Waller noted that Shawn Michaels knows to look to Australia for new talent to sign for NXT. You can read more about that here.
