Xavier Woods Praises The Usos, Grayson Waller Discusses His WWE Character
The Usos have been the most dominant tag team throughout their Bloodline storyline, and Xavier Woods has nothing but love for Jimmy and Jey.
Woods and his New Day members, namely, Kofi Kingston and Big E, have a longstanding rivalry with The Usos, and he spoke about Jimmy and Jey’s rise on the “Superstar Crossover” podcast.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the Usos’ growth during their time in WWE: “It’s been awesome seeing their growth throughout the company. So when they first came in, and then moving to face paint, and then turning heel, and then like really finding their legs and growing into what they are now. [They’re] some of the best performers that we have on the roster and they had been for a very long time, but the fact that they get to show it now and kind of live in it. I think that only makes you better, obviously.”
On the team’s rise to the top: “It’s been great seeing this, this comeuppance that we’ve been seeing from Jey especially, because when people are coming into The Bloodline, he’s got to sit there and think, ‘Oh, I got my ass beat to get into this. Everybody’s just getting let in, what is this?’ So to see him finally pop off has been really awesome to see. Because it’s been a long time for him. It’s been a long time for both of them. So, right now is a really good time for them.”
Appearing on the latest edition of the “Out of Character” podcast, Grayson Waller revealed how close his on-screen character is to his real-life personality.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how close his character is to his actual personality: “I think if you ask anyone that knows me, they would say that there’s almost no difference. I don’t particularly think that I play anything. I think this is really just me, but obviously when the red light comes on, it’s a little bit amped up. But I don’t think there’s much difference at all.” Waller also revealed that, while he wasn’t always as confident as he is today, it is a trait that he developed relatively early in life. Growing up and things like that, I was similar to everyone. Once I started getting into wrestling and that type of thing — once I realized I was good at it, too — that kind of changed things up for me.”
On how few people know the real him: “That’s the best thing about Grayson Waller: you’re never gonna know the real me. There’s like five people in this world who actually know me, and other than that, you don’t know anything.”
