A current WWE Superstar has revealed that valuable advice he received from John Cena changed his entire outlook on the pro wrestling business.
Former WWE Tag Team Champion Grayson Waller was a guest on the INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet podcast. Among other things discussed, Waller also shared his future goals in WWE.
He stated that heâ€s planning to get in the best shape of his career and that heâ€ll do whatever it takes to make the best use of every opportunity he gets.
“I think the WWE roster right now is the most stacked itâ€s ever been. Iâ€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. Thatâ€s not even taking into account, AJ, Dom Mysterio, Pentaâ€s here now. Itâ€s so stacked. So the guys youâ€re competing with now are the top of the top. So theyâ€re the kind of guys that Iâ€m trying to take on.
“So obviously, right now, Iâ€m doing some stuff with The New Day, which is super fun, best tag team of all time, but I know Iâ€m just going to get in the best shape I can. Every time I get an opportunity, Iâ€m going to show out. Iâ€m going to do whatever it takes when the opportunity is there, Iâ€m going to steal it, Iâ€m going to take it, Iâ€m going to run with it, but I just got to wait for that chance and itâ€s coming. Itâ€s all about patience.â€
He Also Said John Cenaâ€s Advice Changed His Outlook On The Business And His WWE Career
Speaking further, Grayson Waller recalled a backstage talent meeting with John Cena. He shared the 17-time WWE Championâ€s advice on taking advantage of the opportunities the company provides, which are not available to many wrestlers in the business.
“There was actually, would you like me to put over John Cena for a moment? I hate saying nice things about John. Maybe two years ago, where I was kind of freshly on SmackDown, he did a locker room thing. We had a little meeting. We had to talk about some stuff. He got up and he said something that really stuck with me, where he talked about, ‘You donâ€t have to do the Netflix break promo. You donâ€t have to wrestle before the show, you donâ€t have to do the dark match, you get to.â€
“Itâ€s like, you get three minutes to say whatever you want on Netflix. You get to wrestle before the show when theyâ€re the hottest, when theyâ€re the most excited, and you get to wrestle another great Superstar. And when he said that, it changed my perspective a little bit. Who are we to complain about it? I have mates at home who would literally give everything in their life to wrestle before Raw.
“Who am I to go, oh man, I gotta wrestle, I hated that I even possibly thought those things. So once he said that, that changed everything for me. And I look at everything as anything you give me, you give me 30 seconds backstage, Iâ€m stealing that. Iâ€m going to make sure people online are going to re-share the 30 seconds that I have. Iâ€m going to make sure whatever moment I have is going to be something. Thatâ€s the mindset I think you have to have.â€Â
