Grayson Waller Reveals MVP, Shayna Baszler And Josh Barnett Had His Back In Near Bar Fight

Grayson Waller tells a cool story about the superteam of pro wrestling badasses who stepped up to fight alongside him at a bar during WWE WrestleMania XL weekend in Philadelphia.

Grayson Waller captured the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Titles alongside Austin Theory at WWE WrestleMania XL. Then, he nearly got into a bar fight after the show.

Speaking on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast, Grayson Waller was asked who he would want on his bar fight team from the WWE roster. Instead, he told a story about when MVP, Shayna Baszler, and Josh Barnett came to his side before a potential fight in Philadelphia.

“I actually have a real story where I had almost a bar fight, and I had three people step up my team.  This is WrestleMania 40. After we won the Tag Team Championships, we go back to the hotel bar. Sometimes when WrestleMania stuff happens, the fans know what hotel we’re at, so we’re trying to have a good time and chill, and all these fat flops in black shirts and who stink are just like roaming around trying to grab you and all. It’s the worst.”

“So there was a guy who kept just trying to grab and touch and talk to some of the NXT girls now, telling me this guy’s bothering us. So I went up to the bar to talk to him, and I was like, Hey, can you leave the girls alone? They’re trying to have a good night. This guy was very drunk. He starts firing back at me. He goes to push me, and I’m like, Man, I just won the Tag Team Championships. I’m going to get in a fight at the bar at WrestleMania. This is going to be the story.

“Shayna Baszler, she’s like, ‘Is everything all good here?’ She’s talking to me. MVP walks up next. I’m feeling pretty good. Then, Josh Barnett. I’ve never met Josh Barnett, but I know of him. I know he’s a badass. He steps up next and goes, ‘Is everything alright here, guys?’ I sat down. I sat down at the bar, and I just looked at the guy like, ‘Hey, I’m good,’ like Shayna Baszler, MVP, Josh Barnett have my back. There isn’t a man alive who I think can mess with this team before. So I almost had my own super team at the bar, WrestleMania. That guy, he disappeared real quickly, which was nice. I think I actually had a real-life team of four, WarGames bar team.”
