Xavier Woods was livid saying WWE was falling apart. First, Adam Pearce destroyed his own tag team division, then there were two El Grande Americanos, one of which interfered in the very chaotic tag team triple threat. The only thing that made sense to Woods was that Styles was a janitor like he should have been all along.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_128183\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-128183\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-128183 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/11\/coqqt9juq6s48ezh-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Grayson Waller and Austin Theory\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/11\/coqqt9juq6s48ezh-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/11\/coqqt9juq6s48ezh-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/11\/coqqt9juq6s48ezh-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/11\/coqqt9juq6s48ezh.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-128183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grayson Waller ended his and Austin Theory&#8217;s partnership while announcing an injury to Austin Theory tonight on Raw.

Woods said they needed to do something to fix this, to gain the advantage back. <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BvK7bOySLEA\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cue Grayson Waller, who said Austin Theory got himself injured so finally, Waller was able to rid the deadweight<\/a>. He said he was a free agent now so if the New Day were looking for some extra help, he was their guy. Waller offered to get the car as Woods and Kingston were left confused. The two began discussing the possibility before the camera cut away.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main factors in the tag team match was the extra hands as the Creeds used Ivy Nile and LWO used Dragon Lee at various points. Of course, one of those aforementioned El Grande Americanos also showed up in a pretty overbooked finish. But the point being, the New Day were the only team out there that didn&#8217;t have a third. Perhaps that will change now that Grayson Waller is hanging around running their errands.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on New Day, Grayson Waller, Austin Theory injury, and more\u00a0from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
