Apart from his in-ring success, what has stood out is his attitude. Many of his peers have praised him for being helpful backstage, and fans are seeing a more mature side of him compared to his first run. However, new NXT champion Grayson Waller believes the Second City Saint has lost his edge.

Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, Waller talked about whether he could hold his own against Punk on the mic. The Aussie star had no doubts about it but was careful when asked if he could get the better of him. However, he said the current WWE Champion has gone soft.

“That’s a difficult question, you know, because Punk is very good, he’s very sharp, and he’s very intelligent, but he’s softened a bit. He’s got a beautiful wife, he’s got a nice family, he’s got a bunch of NXT kids who tell him how good he is, he’s been the champion, and he’s main evented WrestleMania. What, what makes him hungry now? What makes him fight? What makes him angry?” he said.

Waller claimed that him coming at CM Punk would push him and bring back his old self.

“And I think a guy like me coming for his throat, I think that would bring him back. Because I want the old CM Punk. I remember when I met him, I thought he was gonna choke me out. Because I said some mean things on Twitter about him, and he didn’t. And I was like, ‘Oh, where’d you go? Where’d you go, Punk?’ That’s okay. I’ll bring him back,” he added.

Grayson Waller had a heated confrontation with CM Punk

In August, CM Punk competed at an NXT live event, teaming up with Myles Borne and Tavion Heights to defeat The Vanity Project.

After the match, he was greeted by NXT talent backstage who took photos with him. However, Grayson Waller was not impressed.

He confronted the Voice of the Voiceless and said that the next time he wants to come to his “house,” he should call him. Waller also told him that when he wins the NXT championship, he will come after Punk.
