– During a recent interview with Insight with Chris Van Vliet, WWE Superstar Grayson Waller discussed Australian wrestlers, and which Superstars made him believe he could pursue WWE. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Grayson Waller on rarely seeing Australian wrestlers in WWE until The IIconics: “I rarely saw Australians [in WWE]. There’d be one or two here or there, and I was like, it didn’t seem like a possibility. But then when I saw Peyton [Royce] and Billie [Kay] get on NXT — they’re from the same school as me — then I was like, ‘Oh wow,’ and they came back and, like, did a little seminar.”
On Rhea Ripley cementing his decision: “I’m like, ‘It’s possible,’ and I think Rhea [Ripley] was the one who really cemented it. I think she showed the rest of Australia, ‘Hey, this is possible,’ and that opened the door. Then you get Bronson [Reed], you got Indi [Hartwell] there already, you had TMDK [The Mighty Don’t Kneel] doing really good stuff before they left, there’s so many people.”
