Grayson Waller talks about his problems with Austin Theory.
A-Town Down Under, the tag team of Waller and Theory, are former WWE Tag Team Champions. However, there has been tension between them for months. During a WWE Raw international exclusive promo, Waller noted that he was looking forward to focusing on singles action moving forward.
During an interview with The Amin Show promoting WWE Crown Jewel, coming to Perth, Australia, in October 2025. Waller was asked about the tension between himself and his tag team partner and noted that they both see themselves in a different light outside of a tag team. Waller even said that part of his problem with Austin Theory is that he's a nice guy and not who people think he is.
"It's a tough thing, because I think me and Austin both have very lofty goals in this business. We both kind of want the same things. As a tag team, I think we have great chemistry, and it was a lot of fun getting to work #DIY, The Street Profits, Motor City Machine Guns, these are the best tag teams in the world, but now on Raw, Netflix, you know, obviously some great tag teams there too. But I think we both see ourselves in a certain light, and maybe together, that doesn't work out.
"For right now, we are working as a team. Maybe he's not working the same way that I am. I think the problem with Austin Theory is that he's a good guy. He's not what people assume he is, and that kind of frustrates me at times, like he's not willing to do whatever it takes. We're walking into the venue, and he wants to stop and take photos with the kids and the fat blokes with the black shirts on. That's just not me. I'm there to work, I'm there for myself, and sometimes we don't see eye to eye. But the problem is, we're both supremely talented, so as a tag team, we work pretty well."
They have had tremendous success as singles wrestlers in the past. Austin Theory has defeated John Cena at WrestleMania, and Grayson Waller has wrestled Edge in Madison Square Garden.
