WWE official Adam Pearce hinted at the impending trade leaving fans speculating about who would make the leap to the blue brand. Amid the uncertainty, Grayson Waller the charismatic Australian superstar shared his thoughts on the potential roster move and his ambitions for his talk show, “The Grayson Waller Effect.”

In a conversation with Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick on the “After The Bell” podcast, Waller expressed his concerns about the impending roster change.
