John Cena: Grayson Waller Reminds Me Of The Miz; He Has The First Ingredient, He Believes In Who He Is
John Cena says that Grayson Waller reminds him of The Miz.
Since being drafted to the SmackDown brand earlier this year, Grayson Waller has already made a profound impact in WWE. In a few short months, Waller has shared the ring with the likes of John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Rey Mysterio, and Edge.
Waller’s interaction with Cena came at the Money In The Bank premium live event, which was held in London, England.
In a new interview with WWE’s The Bump, Cena said that Waller reminds him of The Miz.
“Grayson reminds me a whole lot of Miz, like a lot. From all of Miz’s confidence/arrogance, he’s been here 19 years and he’s one of the most reliable, decorated, and elite performers in WWE history. The fact that he’s been here for 19 years and continues to crush it, I think that says good things about Grayson Waller. I like to see somebody come in with confidence. Looking back on my existence, I wish I had more confidence. I wish I had Grayson Walker’s swagger when I slapped Kurt Angle back in 2002. Instead, I timidly shook The Undertaker’s hand when I should have slapped him too. I didn’t have that ruthless aggression, he’s got it. I admire that and we all have something to learn, everyday is a chance to learn and grow and he’s got a few things to learn. As somebody who’s got a little more in-ring wisdom, I want to shake him. He’ll find all that stuff out, he’s got the first ingredient, he believes in who he is.”
