It is time for the Grayson Waller Effect.

Grayson welcomes everyone to the show.  He brings out his guest Carmelo Hayes.

Carmelo comes ot the ring with Trick Williams.

Waller says the vibe is off.  He says everyone loves Hayes but that is a rhetorical question.  Waller says Hayes wishes it is Bron who he faces.

Hayes says no matter how many losses Waller takes, he gets into the main event.  Hayes says he is more decorated than a Christmas tree.  He says life is good.  

Waller says in the past eighteen months, he has become a bigger star without a title than Hayes has been.  Waller says he does not need a championship. 

The first question is about the 'I am HIM' line.

Trick tells Waller to look at Twitter and social media. 

Hayes says they are saying his name when he walks into the building so if that isn't HIM, what is?

Waller says he thinks Hayes is saying that he is 'them'.  You wouldn't have anything without Trick Williams.

Hayes tells Trick that it is all good and they know what Waller is going to be doing.  Hayes says that Waller has stolen every opportunity he has had.  Hayes says there is greatness, there is Waller, and then there is Carmelo Hayes.  You might not be that guy.  You might not be built for that championship lifestyle.  

Carmelo says it is time to drop some banners for Waller's accomplishments and there aren't any.

Waller says he stole the show at Stand and Deliver.  The main event happened before your music even hit.  Waller says maybe Hayes can carry Omos' bags.

Hayes says Waller would be good with Logan Paul.

Waller says the biggest viral moment of his life will be him holding the title in one hand and doing a Golden Shoe in the other.

Hayes asks how will he do that when he puts Waller's shoes in the power line?

We go to credits.
