TNA Wrestlers React To Grayson Waller’s Promo On WWE NXT

Grayson Waller drew a reaction from the TNA roster.

Starting the broadcast for the July 29th WWE NXT on The CW was a surprise appearance from Grayson Waller. Waller took shots at his former partner Austin Theory and the NXT men’s division, and he spoke about the newest addition to the NXT roster, former TNA World Champion Cruz Montana a.k.a. Mike Santana.

Waller stated that being the top guy in TNA is like being the best ball player at the local YMCA. That remark drew reactions from TNA’s Moose, A.J. Francis, Brian Myers, and Bear Bronson.

I was paid a WrestleMania check to be there as the host of the bowl game… he was there cuz I told security he could be after they asked me who he was begging to come down from the stands… but let’s not let the facts get in the way of a good promo. 🤌🏽💰💰💰 #TNAJFrancis https://t.co/ABS3WyKeSV pic.twitter.com/89mveYDkVo
