Grayson Waller Enjoys Doing His Talk Show Segment, Studied Piper’s Pit For It

Grayson Waller hosts his own talk show segment on Smackdown called The Grayson Waller Effect, and he recently discussed studying the WWE talk shows of the past before he started his. Waller spoke with Brad Gilmore on The Collection and talked about his segments and how he was nervous about them at first.

“Very much so,” he said when asked if he looked at older WWE talk shows (per Fightful). “I was always a fan of the talk shows when it came to WWE. Before I started mine, I watched a lot of Piper’s Pit and things like that to get the vibe. It’s such an important part of what WWE does, those types of segments.”

He continued, “Having it as how I debuted on the main roster was a little daunting in a way because you’re not debuting in a match, you’re not debuting with these hype packages. The first thing people see of me is me hosting and causing chaos with their favorite superstars. I know a lot of people, to start off with, didn’t even know I could wrestle. That was fun while I was healing. It was daunting at first. Now, it’s a lot of fun. I’m in there with guys like Logan Paul, John Vena, Cody Rhodes. The biggest names. Getting to interact with them is a lot of fun.”
