Grayson Waller disputes claims of NXT demotion following his return

Grayson Waller returned to the WWE NXT brand on July 28, following his 2023 move to the main roster. While some viewers labeled the transition a demotion, Waller stated on Busted Open After Dark that he was personally requested to return by a figure he holds in high esteem. He claimed the decision was made because the men's division lacked a chaotic presence and needed a boost. Waller also noted that he felt the women's division had previously outshined the men, though he believes the male wrestlers are now improving. The NXT Championship remains the focal point for the current roster, with six performers currently vying for a shot at the title. To narrow down the field for the champion, Tony D'Angelo, Mason Rook, and Saquon Shugars are scheduled to face EK Prosper, Cruz Montana, and Keanu Carver in a tag team match.
