The Rock is currently not acting at the moment due to the recent Writers and Actors strike in Hollywood. This has led to many speculating that he could turn back up in WWE due to his schedule being freed up for the foreseeable future. Some have thought he could be working with Grayson Waller.
The two men have been snapping at each other as of late, with Waller baiting The Rock on social media. The Rock would respond, insulting Waller.
This would lead to an edition of SmackDown earlier this year, with Waller referencing the beef between the two on the program.
Speaking on the Babyfaces podcast, Waller was asked about the rivalry on social media.
“I was over The Rock three seconds after he tweeted me with some mediocre response. I was trying to help him out. I went out of my way to go there to make the Rock relevant in WWE again. Obviously, he’s a huge global superstar, everyone knows The Rock, he’s probably the most well-known professional wrestler of all time, but when it comes to WWE, it’s all about what have you done for me lately? He hasn’t done nothing for anyone lately, so I was trying to give him a path to come back in, maybe ease him in before Roman [Roman Reigns] and the Bloodline, they have all these things going on. I don’t think he was about that. 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,”
Grayson Waller
Next for Waller, he will host new United States Champion Rey Mysterio on The Grayson Waller Effect this Friday on SmackDown.
