The Grayson Waller Effect with guest Cody Rhodes
Grayson says it is fitting that this is happening here because you have something in common with his guest. You can never finish a story. He brings out his guest, Cody Rhodes.
Cody asks Pittsburgh, but Waller cuts him off. He says no one cares what Pittsburgh wants to talk about. Waller says he is being honest. All people care about is what he wants to talk about. Waller says he wants to talk about Cody's big announcement. He says he heard the whispers and rumbles. Cody has had so many ups and so many downs. Waller says he appreciates Cody begging to be on his show because Cody needs the Grayson Waller rub. He tells Cody this is the start of something huge . . . kid.
Cody says Waller is a newly minted graduate from hip toss class. You are probably familiar with shows like this and Cody runs through a litany of shows. You understand the precedent. Are you going to say something that gets under his skin? I take off my tie and hit you as we knock over these Hooter's Trees. Then I give you a CrossRhodes.
Waller says he is not going to knock over the beautiful trees.
Cody says he asked to be on this show and for this massive platform. He thanks Waller for the rub and he wants to give Waller a big scoop. Cody asks if Waller watches Raw and NXT. He asks Waller if he watches Smackdown and Waller says he watches his stuff. Cody says Smackdown is intriguing. He says he saw a wrong that needed to be righted. Whatever political stroke he had, he cashed them in. He says he hopes he does not regret what he saw. He welcomes the newest member of Raw. . . Jey Uso.
Jey and Cody nod at each other and Jey goes into the ring and the crowd is happy with what they are seeing.
Waller sarcastically says welcome back Jey and mentions he has been gone for two weeks. He says he wishes he had some questions and he asks Jey what does it feel like to be on Raw. He points out that Jey has been a twin his entire life and surrounded by the Bloodline. As successful you have been in a tag team, as an individual, you have accomplished nothing. Do you think you are going to be a success.
Jey with a super kick to Waller.
