Grayson Waller Teases Rematch Against AJ Styles Following WWE Draft
Now that Grayson Waller has been drafted to "WWE Smackdown," the up-and-coming superstar could potentially rekindle a phenomenal rivalry from his NXT days.
Since his fate has been determined by the 2023 WWE Draft, the host of "The Grayson Waller Effect" has been very vocal about how bright his future looks on the blue brand. But in a recent Twitter post, he uncharacteristically let a picture of himself and AJ Styles do the talking for him.

Following some disparaging remarks on social media, Waller challenged Styles to a match. The two had some verbal exchanges on "Raw" and "NXT" that nearly came to blows, but they finally faced off at the WWE Performance Center on the January 11, 2022 edition of "NXT." Waller couldn't celebrate with a shoey that night since the veteran got the victory (and LA Knight ran in to beat him down afterward), but the match showed the WWE Universe that the brash, young Aussie has a lot of potential for a successful and entertaining career. Now, based on this new post, it seems like he'd like to kick off that career by having a rematch sooner rather than later.
As for the legendary Styles, he and the rest of the OC – Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, and "Michin" Mia Yim – have their hands full with Erik, Ivar, and Valhalla of the Viking Raiders. The factions faced off shortly after the Too Sweet crew was drafted to "Smackdown" and the club that was started in Japan stood tall after the altercation. As a result, the Good Brothers will face the Vikings in a tag team match this Friday on the promotion's final broadcast before the highly anticipated Backlash event in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Saturday, which will also feature internationally renowned recording artist Bad Bunny.
