Paul Wight Recalls Floyd Mayweather’s Grandmother Scolding Him For Standing On Her Grandson At WrestleMania 24: She’s Intimidating!

Paul Wight recalls Floyd Mayweather’s grandmother scolding him following his bout with the boxer at WrestleMania 24.

At WrestleMania 24, Wight would square off with Floyd Mayweather in a No DQ match at the event, and someone close to Floyd was not happy with what he put the boxer through in the process of the bout.

While speaking to Gareth A Davies in a new interview, Paul Wight shared how Floyd Mayweather’s grandmother scolded him following the pair’s bout at WrestleMania 24.

“At WrestleMania, I stood on him in the match. After the Mania match, after he punches me in the knuckle dusters and the chair shots and everything else, his grandmother… pulled me off to the side and was ripping me a new ass for standing on him. She’s intimidating! Floyd had to come over like, you know, ‘hey, Nana, it’s okay.’ ‘You stand on him like that. He’s small. You could have-‘ I think she said I could have burst him or something. She thought I was going to cave in his ribcage. She is absolutely ready to fight, and I was like… yeah, Floyd came over and rescued me, but, boy, she had her eye on me for about 20 minutes after that whole thing went down. By the end of it, everything was cool, but when I came through the curtain, it wasn’t-the WWE staff telling me I did a great job and all that stuff. Normally, like, you know, that’s good, but as soon as I came past that staging area, she was right there waiting for me and, like… had me by the arm, like by the wrist, and pulled me off to the side, and, you know, I got my ass chewed pretty heavy, and I was like, ‘but ma’am, he’s a… yes, ma’am. Yes, ma’am. Yes, ma’am.’ Like, there was no arguing that whatsoever.”
