Grayson Waller Was Told To ‘Don’t Ever Do That Again’ After Taking A Top Rope Mexican Destroyer From Penta

Grayson Waller was told to ‘don’t ever do that again’ when he took a top rope Mexican Destroyer from Penta on an episode of WWE RAW.

On the September 22nd edition of WWE Monday Night RAW, Grayson Waller and Penta shared the ring amidst a rivalry  and six man tag team match involving Waller and The New Day (Kofi Kingson and Xavier Woods) calling for the Mexican Destroyer to be banned. During the bout, Waller would be hit with a top rope Mexican Destroyer in a highly risky spot that ended up working out.

While speaking on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Grayson spoke about how when he got backstage after the match, he was told ‘don’t ever do that again’.

“I got backstage, and some people weren’t happy with me. They were like, don’t do that. Someone pulled me aside and said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ It was just like, I understand the risks involved, and obviously I don’t want to take a move like that, but Penta is very good at what he does, but it’s very dangerous and it’s scary to be in that position. And I think sometimes we do so much wild stuff that sometimes we forget to put in perspective how wild that would be for someone off the street to be in that position, that high up, taking something like that. So that was a stressful thing. I think sometimes you go into, I don’t want to say go into shock, because that seems super scary. But when that impact happens and it’s like, Am I okay? Am I okay? You do legitimately check yourself. Am I okay? Do I feel okay? Obviously, adrenaline is a crazy thing too, so sometimes you don’t feel stuff, and then a couple hours later you do. So it’s like, sometimes it’s a real, you say sell, but it’s real. I’m like, Am I okay? Am I okay? And thank God I was.”
