He is doing something right, whether it&#8217;s his loud mouth or in-ring work. It can\u2019t be denied that he should have a bright career ahead of him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most of his time on the main roster, Waller has been teaming with Austin Theory as part of the A-Town Down Under tag team. They have been successful and entertaining, as they are former WWE Tag Team Champions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, at what point do these two break up? They are both incredibly talented, and the tag team has seemed to help them both as wrestlers, but is it time for them to go their separate ways? If booked correctly, they could shine as singles competitors, but I\u2019d like to focus on Grayson Waller&#8217;s talent right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Grayson Waller Has The &#8216;It&#8217; Factor<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waller is genuinely one of a kind. He has every characteristic needed to be successful in the WWE. Whether people like him or not, he grabs their attention and puts on one entertaining segment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has the gift to gab, as one may call it. Waller excels when he is on the mic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He knows how to get the crowd going and give a verbal low blow in a promo. He\u2019s so good on the mic that he even has his own segment, \u2018The Grayson Waller Effect.\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WWE Champion Cody Rhodes on The Grayson Waller Effect | SmackDown Highlights 08\/23\/24 | WWE on USA\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o2E3Uv-M6cE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waller is entertaining because, while he means business, his loud personality brings a sense of humor. He can also complement that with his wrestling skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During Waller\u2019s time in NXT, he wasn\u2019t one of the top guys down there for no reason. He has the whole package to succeed in the company: athleticism, charisma, and dedication. He just needs the correct booking to shine on the main roster.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Time For A Singles Run<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It seems that Waller and Theory need to move on to something new. They are a great team, and their personalities mesh perfectly, but they have been coasting lately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last time A-Town Down Under won a match together was on the September 24 NXT against Cedric Alexander and Je\u2019Von Evans. But that was the first match they won since May. This shows how there aren\u2019t many plans for them right now for an intense storyline or title shot against another tag team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been teasers of a breakup between the two, but this has been teased since this past summer, and nothing has come from it. It almost fizzled out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Grayson Waller apologizes to Austin Theory for messing with him: SmackDown highlights, Aug. 30, 2024\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wG5A0SQtsaA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If given the proper television time for promos and other segments to build the story, I\u2019m sure they will have a great feud and story with each other. If they do break up and feud with each other, this could be a good start to launch them both toward a mid-card championship afterward and have them go off on their own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Forming A-Town Down Under has helped these superstars develop their characters and relationships with fans. However, it has come to a point that it seems they will only rise in the company if they both continue as singles competitors.<\/p>\n<h3>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/h3>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/span><\/em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/em><\/a><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling as they develop.
