Grayson Waller recently spoke with FOX Sports Australia for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling and WWE.
During the discussion, the former multiple-time NXT Championship contender and recent WWE main roster call-up spoke about his 2023 WWE Draft experience being similar to the start of Tom Brady's NFL career.
"I’m not gonna lie, it was tough," Waller said of his late pick in this year's WWE Draft. "I sat there on the Friday night for four or five hours or however long it was. I saw name after name and Grayson Waller’s name wasn’t picked. Not everyone was there. Not everyone was there. I got asked to be there. So I expected to be drafted. When I wasn’t, I was frustrated. And I had to sit that whole weekend and think about how low I felt."
Waller continued, "Then I turn up that Monday and the same thing happens. I watched the entire episode of Raw and I’m hearing these names picked – and there’s some really talented people in NXT who got drafted, but I’m Grayson Waller. I’m the number one person here. My name should be drafted on television. So I was frustrated, and I really thought that I was gonna sit there for two nights and not get picked – and I thought about Tom Brady, and I thought about that, if you watch the documentary, The Brady Six about the six quarterbacks that got picked before Tom – and I know every single person drafted before me. I know every NXT person that was drafted before me."
