During an appearance on Gabby AF, Grayson Waller addressed his upcoming NXT Championship match against Oba Femi at Vengeance Day. Waller expressed his views on the current NXT Champion, stating that Femi holds the title due to what he considers the weakest men’s roster in NXT history.
The discussion shifted to Waller’s perspective on NXT’s current landscape, where he shared his thoughts about his previous contributions to the brand.
Right now, we’re looking at Oba and Trick, and we’ll deal with the (title) situation later on. I know we both [referencing Austin Theory] have unfinished business in NXT. I get very frustrated. When you look at NXT 2.0 and all the changes that happened, I think I was at the forefront of that. When you talk about moments, when you talk about matches, Grayson Waller was all over that.
Waller continued to express his views on the recognition of talent within NXT, particularly addressing the prominence given to certain competitors.
The only people who ever got any due are Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes. If I have to hear those two names again, it’s going to make me sick. Now it’s the same with Trick Williams, Oba Femi, NXT, NXT, NXT. It makes me sick. What, because I didn’t have the championship, all of a sudden I’m not held to the same regard?
The RAW Superstar then revealed his intentions regarding the NXT Championship, should he capture it at Vengeance Day.
Now, I’m going to go down there…I think Oba is overrated. Everyone is talking about Oba. Congrats, you’re at the top of the worst NXT male roster of all time. I’m not impressed. Trick Williams, you’ve done some big things in NXT, congrats. You had some college championships. We’re on the main roster. We’re in the NFL, we’re winning Super Bowls. We won the Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania. We’re not going down there just to put on some good TV and make Oba look good. We’re going down there and I want to see if it’s real. I don’t think it is right now. I think Oba Femi is overrated. One of us is taking the NXT Championship and we’re putting it on Adam Pearce’s desk. You’re welcome, lad. We’re on Raw now and we have the NXT Championship. Sorry, Shawn [Michaels]. I know you didn’t want me to win the championship, but now I have it.
