WWE star Grayson Waller recently discussed his future goals and the mindset required to succeed on a packed roster. During an interview on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Waller first spoke about the level of competition on the Raw brand alone.
“I think the WWE roster right now is the most stacked it’s ever been. I’m on Raw. You got Punk, you got The Usos, you got LA Knight, now you got Bron and Bronson. You got Roman when he comes around. That’s not even taking into account AJ, Dom Mysterio, and Penta’s here now. It’s so stacked. So the guys you’re competing with now are the top of the top. So they’re the kind of guys that I’m trying to take on.”
A New Perspective
Waller explained that while he is currently working with The New Day, he remains focused on being patient and seizing any opportunity that comes his way. He then revealed that this mindset was inspired by a locker room speech from John Cena.
“So obviously, right now, I’m doing some stuff with The New Day, which is super fun, best tag team of all time, but I know I’m just going to get in the best shape I can. Every time I get an opportunity, I’m going to show out. I’m going to do whatever it takes when the opportunity is there, I’m going to steal it, I’m going to take it, I’m going to run with it, but I just have to wait for that chance, and it’s coming. It’s all about patience. Sometimes you get in your head, and you’re like, maybe I wasn’t on Raw today. Oh man, they don’t like me, I suck, whatever it is, and that’s not what it is. It’s just like, it’s not your chance tonight, dude. Your chance is coming and you just got to wait. I think some people fumble the bag stressing about that time period where you kind of sit and wait. But the end of the day, we get paid to travel well and do these cool things. I think my perspective has changed a lot.”
