Grayson Waller, the Australian star of WWE, recently spoke about his attempts to give a “rub” to none other than The Rock. In a recent interview on the Babyfaces podcast, Waller explained his motivation behind tweeting at The Rock and his disappointment with the response he received.
According to Waller, he wanted to help The Rock make a return to WWE and give him a path back into the spotlight. However, The Rock’s response did not impress Waller, and he is now ready to move on.
“I was over The Rock three seconds after he tweeted me with some mediocre response,” Waller said. “I was trying to help him out. I went out of my way to make The Rock relevant in WWE again. But when it comes to WWE, it’s all about what have you done for me lately? He hasn’t done anything for anyone lately, so I was trying to give him a path to come back in. I don’t think he was about that.”
Waller also expressed that the young and hungry stars in WWE are not interested in showing respect to The Rock because they are focused on paving their own paths to success.
“The Rock is at a stage in his life where he knows if he gets back in the ring, all these young, hungry guys, we’re not going to sit down and show him the respect. We want to fight. I don’t think The Rock wanted to fight me. I’ve moved on. I gave him his opportunity. He had the chance for the Grayson Waller rub, he didn’t take it, so I’m going to give that opportunity to someone else,” Waller added.
It seems that Waller is ready to focus on other opportunities and leave his attempts to help The Rock behind. In a separate interview, Waller spoke about his experience wrestling Ilja Dragunov and described him as a “scary individual.”
