Grayson Waller makes his way to the ring and he says it is time to rattle some cages. He made his debut on the main roster six weeks after breaking his leg in Madison Square Gareden. Something changed. Maybe he was too honest and didn't kiss the right ass. His career has been an embarrassment He carried 240 poinds of idiot to make relevant. At the end of the day that Marty Jannetty is afraid of the microphone. He pretended he was at a funeral for the last year. He wore the silly hat. He talked about how good someone else was. He says he was dressed for a funeral and he was dressed for one. He says he has been sitting in the back and in better shape than ever. He says he needs to feel like he means
In order to get past his demon, he needs needs to win the NXT World Title. It was held by the best. He says people get sent up to the main roster because he is a hero. He is not a commercial break person. He ays he is coming for the title. He says he is coming for Cruz Montana and he likes the name. There will be a shiny new toy in six weeks and you will be forgotten. He says being the best in TNA in 2026 is like being the best at the YMCA,
There was no one left for you Tony. You can go home and care for your child.
A production assistant tells Waller to wrap it up and Waller says he is not going anywhere. Waller tells everyone to get off the phone and watch what I did. The men's roster is soft. He says the women are running laps around you, but ninety percent of you think you should be called up. Maybe ten percent are ready but it is the women. You want to play wrestler for six months and impress the girls. He talks about the independent talents but then you put a mic in their hand and it all goes away.
Waller says Shawn is smiling because he is telling the truth. The division is for the taking. None of you have done a thing about it. He says he is going to take every opportunity because he says he is trying to remember who he is.
