Grayson Waller feels he deserves comparisons to John Cena.
Grayson Waller is scheduled to challenge Bron Breakker for the NXT Championship and has become a menace on the developmental brand. With high profile storylines like his work with AJ Styles, it is hard to argue against Waller’s claims of being the future of NXT and WWE as a whole.
Speaking to Steve Fall on The Ten Count, Grayson Waller says comparisons to the likes of John Cena don’t bother him because he’s believed he’s been on that level for quite some time.
“I should be compared to those guys. It’s not a stress at all,” he said. “I know for some people — I see people here freaking out because they are getting put in these positions, and they’re getting compared to people, and they don’t know what to do. I already know I’m there. I’ve known that for a long time, and I’m finally getting to show that,” he said. “As for the fans, I’m not here to have fans. I don’t care about people. I’m not here to make friends. People sending me fan mail; they don’t care about me. They just want me to sign a card and sell it off. These fans don’t actually care about you. They’re fairweather, lad. I see the NXT crowd. Every two weeks they change who they like. I don’t buy into it. I think too many people here are distracted by the fans. They’re distracted by what people say on social media. I couldn’t care less. I know how good I am.
“I don’t need some 14-year-old kid to send me a letter going, ‘Grayson Waller, you’re so good.’ I know I’m good, lad,” Waller continued. “I don’t need to read this piece of paper. That goes straight into the trash. I don’t even read that stuff anymore; it means absolutely nothing to me.”
