Grayson Waller comments on comparisons between himself and Logan Paul.
Grayson Waller and Logan Paul are both loud, self-confident, and driven WWE Superstars. However, Waller’s dedication to WWE is stronger than Paul’s, who first gained fame on social media and then used that star power to transition into WWE.
During an appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Waller was asked about comparisons to Logan Paul. Unlike most WWE Superstars, Waller isn’t offended by the comparison to the social media star. He actually says that Paul is motivated and committed to the world of WWE as well. However, he did emphasize his own ability to work much harder than Paul.
“I would never say that if you get compared to Logan Paul, I don’t think that is a negative at all. Obviously, everything Logan’s done inside a short amount of time is very impressive. Look at everything he does outside the WWE. Look at the eyes that he brings to WWE. I’m someone who, when I was in NXT, actually got to get in and train with him. He wanted to train with Shawn Michaels. Shawn didn’t know if Logan knew that he doesn’t bump around anymore, so that was my job to come in and kind of help Logan out.
“I could tell that day like he genuinely cares about what we do, and he’s very passionate. When you’re coming in as a celebrity, I think that’s, that’s the line that we draw in the locker room. Like, do you actually care about this? Do you actually want to do it? Are you trying to get a payday, trying to get eyes on you? Are you trying to just take from us? But Logan’s not that guy. He genuinely cares, and he’s very good at it, and I think that upsets a lot of people, so if I get compared to him, I’m not stressing, but I also do think I set myself apart from Logan in a lot of ways.
“I’m there every week. You need me in NXT? You need me to do AAA? You need me to do any media interviews? Grayson Waller is doing it all. Logan’s an in-and-out kind of guy, but that’s just because he has so much more going on in his life outside the WWE for me. WWE is everything to me. It means a lot to me, so I think that’s where we differ.”
Logan Paul got to be one of John Cena’s last opponents when he faced Cena at WWE Clash in Paris. He’s currently a “free agent” in kayfabe. Learn more here.
