Dominik Mysterio Praises Grayson Waller’s NXT Promo, Says He Agrees With It

Dominik Mysterio was impressed with Grayson Waller’s promo on last week’s NXT and says he agrees that the guys there need to “step up.” Waller made a surprise return on last Tuesday’s show, cutting a promo that included shots at the men’s division there where he said the women’s division is surpassing them.

Mysterio was asked about the promo in an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show. He said that he agrees with Grayson Waller and spoke about his own experience where he didn’t start in NXT, but instead did it in reverse. You can see the highlights below:

On Waller’s Promo:

“I did see that, and huge shout-out to Grayson. He did his thing, man. And when it comes to the women down in NXT outworking the boys, I see that, you know? I come from a very old school mindset where you know, you show up, you shake people’s hands. You respect the totem pole of where you’re at, and it just seems like they don’t get that down there. So Grayson told it how it is, and I — you know, it is what it is. Let the boys step up in NXT, and see if that lit a fire under their ass.”

On His Not Going to NXT:

“Damn right, because I’m Dirty Dom. But think about it this way. I went backwards, Ariel. I started on the main roster, did everything that I had to do. Went down to NXT, did the PC stuff, did NXT TV, won the North American Title twice, beat Trick Willy, and then came back to the main roster. But I was also going back and forth from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. No one was doing it like me.”
