Grayson Waller’s ascent in WWE has been remarkable, and his recent victory over Rey Mysterio further solidifies his status as a rising star. Following the latest episode of SmackDown, Waller achieved a significant milestone by securing the pinfall against the beloved legend Rey Mysterio.
In a notable development on SmackDown, A-Town Down Under exchanged their SmackDown Tag Team Titles for the newly-introduced WWE Tag Team Championship. Although distinct in lineage, the new title bears a striking resemblance to the iconic Tag Team Title of the Ruthless Aggression Era.
After the televised event concluded, A-Town Down Under successfully defended their championship against the formidable duo of Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee. Notably, Waller secured the pinfall victory over Mysterio for the first time in his career.
While Rey Mysterio had previously emerged victorious over Grayson Waller in a televised match last September, this recent encounter marked a turning point. In the earlier bout, Mysterio had avenged a previous defeat alongside Santos Escobar against the LWO duo, with Escobar taking the pinfall.
During the match, there was a noteworthy moment where Grayson Waller and Austin Theory called out Cam Heyward and The Pittsburgh Steelers.
Despite the confrontation, Mysterio stood by their side, portraying the quintessential babyface persona.
Although Mysterio and Dragon Lee faced defeat in their valiant effort, A-Town Down Under emerged triumphant. The Street Profits are slated to be their first televised challengers for the newly minted WWE Tag Team Championship, promising an exciting showdown ahead.
