During the latest episode of RAW, tensions rose as members of the New Day confronted Grayson Waller, suggesting that Austin Theory being blamed for holding back Grayson Waller should be taken seriously. The exchange took place backstage after Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, recently removed from ringside during a high-stakes match, approached Waller with pointed advice.
The World Tag Team Champions, frustrated after their ejection during the Finn Balor and JD McDonagh match against the War Raiders, crossed paths with The Dynamite from Down Under. They voiced irritation about what they saw as disrespectful treatment and drew parallels between their own situation and Waller’s partnership with Theory.
Champions Accuse Theory of Sabotaging Waller’s Success
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods didn’t mince words, telling Waller directly that Austin Theory was dragging him down. Woods let his frustration about the recent events be known.
“I can’t believe that they would eject the greatest tag team in the history of WWE,” said Woods.
Kingston continued the sentiment, pointing out the obstacles faced not just by their own team, but by Waller as well.
“That’s terrible, man, they’re sandbagging us, man, just like they’re sandbagging you, Grayson,” said Kingston.
“Yeah, come on everybody sees it, Austin Theory is holding you down,” said Woods.
The advice grew even more direct with Kingston referencing their own controversial move to separate from Big E in the past, urging Waller to follow a similar path.
“You are a rising star, man, come on, Grayson, you know what you gotta do just like we did to Big E we got rid of him. Hey, veteran advice. Yeah, you heard it, trust your boys, the New Day,” said Kingston.
Fans Speculate on Possible Breakup
The possibility of a split between the A-Town Down Under team has circulated among fans for quite some time, with WWE offering multiple hints over recent months. As the pressure mounts, only time will reveal whether Grayson Waller will act on New Day’s advice and step away from Austin Theory, potentially reshaping his trajectory in the process.
