When Grayson Waller made his return to NXT at the end of July, he aired his grievances and looked to rattle some cages.
Appearing on What’s Your Story with Stephanie McMahon, Waller and Stephanie rewatched the promo and Waller explained where his “cages rattled” line came from.
“The opening line, ‘cages rattled.’ That’s from Hunter [Triple H] doing an interview with Cody (Rhodes). They were talking about when Cody left and how sometimes you have to go and rattle the cages. I’d watched that somewhat close to when I did this. I took that to heart. ‘They’re right. I’m sitting backstage and saying please and thank you, I’m quiet, I do my job, and I’m not making any noise and no one is listening to me.’ I took Hunter’s advice. That was my version of doing that and getting people to pay attention. It set me off because he was right; I wasn’t doing the right thing. I wasn’t rattling any cages. Why would you pay attention to someone sitting quietly in the corner?”
Cody Rhodes previously revealed that Triple H told him to “rattle some cages” after he left WWE.
Waller is set to defend his NXT Championship against Tony D’Angelo at NXT Halloween Havoc. Fans can find the lineup for the show here.
