WWE NXT Champion Grayson Waller surfaced on Insight with Chris Van Vliet to discuss various topics, including his earlier fear of being parted ways with from the company, particularly after The New Day departed.
Waller commented, “100%. I could feel it, notably when The Recently introduced Day exited. I could feel it because when The New Day left, Oba destroyed me. He’s a exceptionally notable man, very strong, and just beaten Lesnar. So I think he was very confident going into that clash.
Maybe I wasn’t prepared enough for Oba Femi, but then, when I didn’t do anything for — like, another month, [I] was not a outstanding position to be in. I’m smart enough to know; I’m not going to pretend — i’m real enough to know. So I had to do something because I’m not going to sit back and let my dream disappear. I know I have plenty of value to the company, but in that position, there’s other people who could also add that value. If I didn’t do something about it, that would upset me if I didn’t do something.”
