Definitely, some of the best coaches – Madison Eagles, Mick Moretti, Robbie Eagles. ‘PWA has some of the best wrestling in the world. But if it wasn’t for that experience, I don’t think I’d be in the position I’m in now,’ Waller said. ‘Looking back and seeing where I was at the time, and where I am now – it’s very different.

According to the wrestler, it was a truncated, difficult process as ‘nobody knew what was going on’. Waller was set to join WWE NXT in March 2020, before the pandemic complicated his arrival. In major bouts against local wrestlers like Caveman Ugg and international guests including AEW wrestler Orange Cassidy, Waller endeared himself to local fans in Australia – before catching the attention of WWE in late 2019. The global stage Waller currently wrestles on is a far cry from Max Watt’s, where the wrestler began developing his loud, outspoken ways. In recent weeks, he’s also kickstarted a feud with WWE legend Shawn Michaels, which will culminate in a fight against Michaels’ protege, Johnny Gargano, at NXT Stand & Deliver on 2 April 2023 (AEDT).

Joining WWE in 2021 was the realisation of a dream for Waller – one solidified by his debut inclusion as a playable wrestler in the upcoming video game, WWE 2K23. From his sleek entrance and hard-hitting move set, to his charismatic frat boy persona, his presentation screamed ‘Superstar’. While the stage was often small, his matches were anything but. That much was obvious, watching him perform for Pro Wrestling Australia (PWA) in the moody darkness of Max Watt’s Sydney from 2017, onwards. Grayson Waller was clearly destined for bigger things.
