Grayson Waller is in the midst of a rough patch as WWE is clearly keen to keep him in front of the cameras and bringing him to as wide an audience as possible. That continued this week on Friday Night SmackDown at Madison Square Garden in New York City as he hosted another episode of his talk show The Grayson Waller Effect with a special guest, the returning Edge.
Edge got sentimental and ditched the super babyface promo, explaining how the fans were hard workers and big dreamers who took him in and how much it meant to him. He’s nearing the end of the road, it’s the 25th anniversary of his start in WWE, and he’s just so grateful.
Of course, Waller tried to get him to announce his retirement.
Not only was that not what was going to happen, but Edge instead revealed that he had spoken to those in power and got himself a match – against none other than Waller himself. According to Edge, the idea was to see if Waller went down or down would swim.
They gave them plenty of time and Waller held up well with the sly veteran, but when he tried to hit the Rolling Stunner he was hit with a spear and pinned down.
After that, Edge grabbed a microphone and said just four words.
“Hey Waller – you swam.”
