Grayson Waller has nothing but great things to say about CM Punk…for now.
SmackDown Superstar Grayson Waller recently sat down with Adrian Hernandez. When asked about his feelings on CM Punk’s return to WWE, Waller said there is nothing but positive energy backstage about Punk being back.
“So the thing is like the internet, I didn’t realize how wrong the internet was about everything until I came to WWE, and I was actually backstage and saw some things,” Grayson Waller said. “I don’t think there’s anything but positive energy about CM Punk coming back. The entire roster right now is great from top to bottom.
“Everyone’s challenging each other. Everyone wants to be the top guy, but no one’s stepping on anyone to get there. Maybe me, I don’t mind doing that. But everyone’s kind of working together; we want this product to succeed. And I think that’s what’s happening. So I think everyone’s buzzing to have him back.
“Why would you not want to have this guy who can cut in incredible promos, who can have great matches, who the crowd wants to see, who’s super controversial? Like, if you don’t want him back here, you’re stupid type of thing. And to me personally, I said some things online about Punk.
“When I heard the rumors, I like to play with the rumors and have some fun and that type of thing. And I went to meet him recently, and that’s all I’ll say on that. But I was trained in NXT originally by Ace Steel, who was obviously Punk’s coach, as well. So, I know the type of training that he went through.
“Ace Steel was a great trainer, man. He’s very hard-nosed, very, very to the point. He got me a lot of my first matches in NXT. So, I have nothing but positive things to say about Ace and nothing but positive things to say currently about Punk. But I’m sure that will change in the future.”
