Grayson Waller backhand compliments Oba Femi.
At NXT New Year's Evil, a new era was brought into NXT as Oba Femi would defeat Trick Williams and Eddy Thorpe to become the NXT Champion. Now, Femi will look to defend his title successfully against two main roster talents in A-Town Down Under at NXT Vengeance Day.
While speaking to Gabby AF in a recent interview, Grayson addressed the upcoming match and Femi's reign, congratulating him on being the NXT champion with the worst NXT roster in history.
"Right now, we’re looking at Oba and Trick, and we’ll deal with the (title) situation later on. I know we both [referencing Austin Theory] have unfinished business in NXT. I get very frustrated. When you look at NXT 2.0 and all the changes that happened, I think I was at the forefront of that. When you talk about moments, when you talk about matches, Grayson Waller was all over that. The only people who ever gt any due are Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes. If I have to hear those two names again, it’s going to make me sick. Now it’s the same with Trick Williams, Oba Femi, NXT, NXT, NXT. It makes me sick. What, because I didn’t have the championship, all of a sudden I’m not held to the same regard? Now, I’m going to go down there...I think Oba is overrated. Everyone is talking about Oba. Congrats, you’re at the top of the worst NXT male roster of all time. I’m not impressed. Trick Williams, you’ve done some big things in NXT, congrats. You had some college championships. We’re on the main roster. We’re in the NFL. We’re winning Super Bowls. We won the Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania. We’re not going down there just to put on some good TV and make Oba look good. We’re going down there and I want to see if it’s real. I don’t think it is right now. I think Oba Femi is overrated. One of us is taking the NXT Championship and we’re putting it on Adam Pearce’s desk. You’re welcome, lad. We’re on Raw now and we have the NXT Championship. Sorry, Shawn [Michaels]. I know you didn’t want me to win the championship, but now I have it."
Femi will team with Trick Williams to face off with A-Town Down Under on the February 4th edtion of WWE NXT. You can read more about that here.
