That’s how it goes. Wrestling is a complicated sport as wrestlers have a responsibility to keep things seeming realistic while the fans already know what is really going on. That can make for some tricky situations, especially when the lines of story and reality are blurred. That is what happened this week when a WWE Superstar did not take kindly to what someone said to him.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: It Had To Be Done: Details On Production Changes To This Week’s Monday Night Raw
Grayson Waller and LA Knight appeared on an Australian talk show to promote next month’s Elimination Chamber event in Perth. One of the hosts asked the wrestlers to do their finishing move on a floor manager who was leaving. This led to Waller threatening to give the manager a real punch and complaining about a lack of respect. The two were held apart as Knight watched on and the segment ended. There is nothing to suggest that this was anything more than Waller trying to drum up publicity for the show.
It was a busy show. Check out the incident, plus the two in the ring:
Opinion: This is something that has been done before and it makes sense. Having a wrestler come off like someone who is a bit insane and willing to get in a fight with a television worker makes things more interesting. You don’t get that kind of thing very often but it makes for a fun situation when two worlds collide like they did here. Waller is someone who could get on anyone’s nerves and he seemed to do that in this case again.
