Kofi Kingston discusses Big G, Grayson Waller.
On the July 21st edition of WWE Monday Night RAW, Grayson Waller would appear in a backstage segment with The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods). In the segment, Waller would reveal that Austin Theory was injured and that A-Town Down Under, the pair’s tag team, was now over.
On this week’s episode of The RAW Recap, The New Day were asked about ‘Big G’ Grayson Waller.
“Yeah, well, he’s very excited right now. He’s very excited about the fact that him and (Austin) Theory are no more, they’ve been on the rocks for about one, maybe two, two and a half, three years now. Sometimes the hardest breakups are the ones that are slow, and this has been a slow breakup to say the least, but I’m really happy for Waller because like we’ve been telling him, this man is a star. You go to Australia and you mentioned his name, everybody starts talking, man. Everybody starts getting giddy and just happy about hearing his voice or hearing his name.”
After a brief moment of confusion where Xavier Woods expressed that he thought Waller was English, Kofi continued, talking about how Austin Theory’s ‘energy’ brought Waller down.
“When he goes to his hometown, like his name is being echoed in the streets. People are just- they’re clamoring to see him. Then when you stick someone like, A-Town Down, when you put A-Town Down, it’s almost like you put that energy out into the air. By putting that word into your name, you’re automatically bringing yourself down. He’s not an energy guy. You know, he’s more of a meathead. ‘I want to post more videos of myself with my muscles and everything.’ He’s got big muscles. That’s great. But when it comes to being in touch with one’s self and affirmations and things of that nature, positivity, he doesn’t really understand it so when he puts down in his name that’s why- that’s what brings him down and that’s why he’s at where he’s at and Waller should be up here man and we see that potential in him you know so we’ve taken him under the wing, so it’s really- we’re just really happy for him that he’s finally about to be set free, he’s about to fly.”
When asked if Waller was now a member of The New Day, the pair would deflect, mocking Sam Roberts for asking.
