Grayson Waller Believes He Is Worthy Of Being Compared To John Cena

Grayson Waller is currently one of the top heels in NXT and manages to get heat in effortless fashion. His mic skills truly set him apart from other talent on the roster, and there’s a good reason for that. He has also been compared to John Cena lately, and it seems Waller believes he is worthy of those comparisons.

Grayson Waller became the number one contender for the NXT Championship after winning the Iron Survivor Challenge match at NXT Deadline. In fact, due to his current run in NXT, he has been compared to the likes of John Cena, The Rock and Batista.

While speaking to Steve Fall on The Ten Count, Grayson Waller addressed being compared to John Cena. Waller made it clear that he believes he is worthy of being compared to the leader Of Cenation.

I should be compared to those guys. It’s not a stress at all. 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.”

“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. 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.

Grayson Waller is set to square off against Bron Breakker at NXT New Year’s Evil for the NXT Championship. We will have to wait and see whether Grayson Waller will do the unthinkable and win the match.
