Grayson Waller Recalls Getting Backed Up By MVP, Shayna Baszler & Josh Barnett In Near-Bar Fight

Grayson Waller recently recalled getting formidable backup during a near-bar fight in the form of MVP, Shayna Baszler & Josh Barnett. Waller was a guest on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast and during the appearance, he was asked the show’s staple question of which WWE stars he would want on his team in a hypotheticals bar fight. Waller instead recalled how he almost got into a real fight after WrestleMania 40 and that Baszler, MVP and Barnett backed him up. You can see highlights below, courtesy of Fightful:

On how it came about: “I actually have a real story where I had almost a bar fight, and I had three people step up my team. This is WrestleMania 40. After we won the Tag Team Championships, we go back to the hotel bar. Sometimes when WrestleMania stuff happens, the fans know what hotel we’re at, so we’re trying to have a good time and chill, and all these fat flops in black shirts and who stink are just like roaming around trying to grab you and all. It’s the worst… So there was a guy who kept just trying to grab and touch and talk to some of the NXT girls now, telling me, ‘This guy’s bothering us.’

“So I went up to the bar to talk to him, and I was like, ‘Hey, can you leave the girls alone? They’re trying to have a good night.’ This guy was very drunk. He starts firing back at me. He goes to push me, and I’m like, ‘Man, I just won the Tag Team Championships. I’m going to get in a fight at the bar at WrestleMania. This is going to be the story.'”

On the trio backing him up: “Shayna Baszler, she’s like, ‘Is everything all good here?’ She’s talking to me. MVP walks up next. I’m feeling pretty good. Then, Josh Barnett. I’ve never met Josh Barnett, but I know of him. I know he’s a badass. He steps up next and goes, ‘Is everything alright here, guys?’ I sat down. I sat down at the bar, and I just looked at the guy like, ‘Hey, I’m good,’ like Shayna Baszler, MVP, Josh Barnett have my back. There isn’t a man alive who I think can mess with this team before. So I almost had my own super team at the bar, WrestleMania. That guy, he disappeared real quickly, which was nice. I think I actually had a real-life team of four, WarGames bar team.”
