Grayson Waller aims to be one of a kind with his in-ring moves.

Waller has been featured as one of NXT’s top stars since the 2.0 era began in September 2021. He has challenged for titles on multiple occasions, and his latest opportunity will come on the Spring Breakin’ edition of NXT on April 25. There, he will challenge Carmelo Hayes for the NXT Championship.

Speaking with Rick Ucchino of Cageside Seats, Waller discussed his run in NXT. When asked about his innovative offensive maneuvers, such as the Rolling Thunder Stunner, and he emphasized that making sure that he’s incomparable to anyone else is important to him. 

“That’s a big part of what I do. I don’t wanna be like anyone else. And I think a lot of times you see people come in and they do the same moves. In wrestling, there’s only so many moves. So, my mindset was always, I don’t wanna be anyone else. Not with my moves, my entrance, anything. Some of the moves I do are quite famous. Like I do, do a Stunner. I do, do an Unprettier. I do, do an elbow drop, but I do ‘em my way. There’s no way that you can look at what I do and go, oh, he’s just like Austin. Stone Cold won’t roll through the ropes like that, like come on, you know what I mean? Same with the Unprettier. Like, no one is doing those type of things. So for me, everything I do is put into making sure that Grayson Waller is an individual and when you see me, you don’t compare me to anyone else,” Waller said.

Fans will have to wait and see whether Waller’s unique arsenal will lead him to victory when he challenges Carmelo Hayes for the gold on NXT Spring Breakin’ on April 25.
