WWE’s Grayson Waller Claims New Day Booking Prevented Serious Character, Now Reigns as NXT Champion

Grayson Waller has won the WWE NXT Championship at Heatwave 2026, defeating Zilla Fatu, Cruz Montana, and Tony D'Angelo in a fatal four-way match. In a recent interview, Waller explained that his previous tenure with the New Day on the main roster prevented him from showcasing the serious persona WWE requested, leading to his return to NXT. He emphasized that he did not view his move to NXT as a demotion but as a strategic choice to define his character. Waller is now the 29th holder of the NXT title, ending D'Angelo’s 148-day reign. This victory marks his first singles championship in WWE, following a previous tag title win with Austin Theory.
