On July 12, Grayson Waller found himself in the middle of a social media exchange with The Rock.
The exchange started with Waller stating his Madison Square Garden debut was better than The Rock's and ended with The Rock responding. Waller would fire off another shot during an episode of WWE SmackDown.
Speaking on the Babyfaces podcast, Waller was asked about his social media run in with "The Great One."
"I was over The Rock three seconds after he tweeted me with some mediocre response. I was trying to help him out. I went out of my way to go there to make the Rock relevant in WWE again. Obviously, he's a huge global superstar, everyone knows The Rock, he's probably the most well-known professional wrestler of all time, but when it comes to WWE, it's all about what have you done for me lately? He hasn't done nothing for anyone lately, so I was trying to give him a path to come back in, maybe ease him in before Roman [Roman Reigns] and the Bloodline, they have all these things going on. I don't think he was about that. The Rock is at a stage in his life where he knows if he gets back in the ring, all these young, hungry guys, we're not going to sit down and show him the respect. We want to fight. I don't think The Rock wanted to fight me. I've moved on. I gave him his opportunity. He had the chance for the Grayson Waller rub, he didn't take it, so I'm going to give that opportunity to someone else," said Waller.
Waller previously commented that he was trying to give The Rock a job since he's technically unemployed due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
The Rock's partner at Seven Bucks Productions Brian Gewirtz said Rock is unlikely to make a WWE return during the strike. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
