The Grayson Waller Effect With Special Guest: DIYÂ
Grayson Waller:Â Wow, what a warm welcome. Welcome to The Grayson Waller Effect.
Austin Theory: Hey, I’m a little confused, where are all the good plants you always have?
Grayson Waller: Austin, I wanted to bring the plants, but this place is so depressing, not even fake plants can grow here. Hold on, before you chant, I speak English, so I don’t understand what you’re saying. But let’s get to the show, that’s what people paid to see, right? Are you ready for my guests tonight, Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, DIY.
DIY starts destroying the GWE Set as they enter the ring.
Grayson Waller:Â That’s how you guys come on my show. No wonder I had a small chair because you two act like children. That cost more than your whole paycheck, lad, that’s a very expensive chair.
Tommaso Ciampa: Listen, man, I see what you’re doing. One chair for the two of us, but I’ll tell you this, I don’t play those games. But you are right about one thing. This is your show. It says that right there, The Grayson Waller Effect. So, what does that make him? Your secretary?
Grayson Waller: Hey, I got this. First of all, this show existed before our tag team. Do you know how expensive it would be to change the graphics, all the branding I put into this? That’s ridiculous, it’s completely impossible. But at the end of the day, we are a tag team. We’re best mates. We’re the tag team champions, I would take a bullet for this man.
Johnny Gargano: Wait, you said you would take a bullet for him?
Grayson Waller: I would, just like he did last week. He sacrificed himself for me, I would do the same
Johnny Gargano: He willing sacrifice himself last week for you, that’s what happened? I think we got some footage we can look at. I think everyone here wants to see some footage. Hey, you want to see the footage? Roll the footage, let’s look at it. I think you pulled Austin Theory in the way. The guy who beat John Cena at WrestleMania you use as a human shield, what a great friend.
Grayson Waller:Â First of all, that was AI, that’s not real footage, okay? And I’m not taking friendship advice from Tommaso Ciampa of all people. You know what you guys didn’t show in that clip? Me beating you, because that’s what we do, right? We’re champions for a reason; we do whatever it takes.
Tommaso Ciampa: I love your fake confidence, but you know what I love even more? It’s not every Friday night that we’re in front of the Scotland crowd, with all of these crazy bastards. And I don’t know, I might be wrong, but I don’t think they came here to watch your stupid talk show. I think they came here to see a fight. I think they came here to see a fight for those tag team titles. And I think they came here to see a fight for those tag team titles, tonight.
Johnny Gargano: What do you say?
Grayson Waller:Â How about this, you think we’re going to defend our championships in a place like Glasgow? Hey, even you flops know, this is a hole. And I see what you’re trying to do. You’re just like everyone else, you want a shot at the championships, you want to drive a wedge in between us, it’s not going to work.
Johnny Gargano: You’re right about one thing. DIY are coming for the WWE Tag Team Championships. But I think everyone here is sick of hearing from you. I want to talk to you, Theory. I’ve known you for a very long time. And we go way, way back. And I always believed in Austin Theory. And I’m proud of what you’ve done on your own. That’s why it kills me to see you like this, to see you now, because, man, someone’s got to tell you, he’s using you. You don’t need him.
Waller sucker punches Gargano. DIY gets into a big brawl with A-Town Down Under to close the segment.

Cody Rhodes & AJ Styles SegmentÂ
Cody Rhodes:Â So, Glasgow, what do you want to talk about? A few weeks ago, I actually thought that AJ Styles would retire. Any of us who have the distinction, the honor, the privilege of standing in this ring, we don’t want to be that guy, that guy who overstays his welcome, that guy that just needs one more match, one more run. Unfortunately, AJ, you’re starting to look like that guy. Thank you. AJ Styles, though, he has been given the task, the impossible task of making me say the words, I Quit.
AJ Styles: Wow, Cody, you really worked up about this, aren’t you? It’s kind of funny, it was really that easy to get you this worked up. All I had to do was pretend that I was going to retire, and you lost your cool.
Cody Rhodes: AJ, let me ask you a question. Why are you so far away? I thought we’re supposed to have a conversation. So, why don’t you leave Horace and Jasper behind, and get in this ring, and face me, man-to-man?
AJ Styles:Â You want to talk, man-to-man? Well, Cody, allow me to remind you, and these stupid idiots, who won’t shut up. We’re nothing alike, you know that, right? Let me remind you and everyone else that it took me 17 years to climb the ladder to get to WWE. They welcomed you with open arms. They couldn’t wait to make Cody Rhodes a star. But when it got thought, what did you do, Cody? You quit the WWE. Oh, you didn’t like that? I got news for you, he also quit New Japan Pro Wrestling. Doesn’t stop there. You quit Ring Of Honor. This man, right here, helped start up a company, and you quit it, too. Face it, Cody, you can’t handle the pressure. What’s that old saying, when the going gets tough, Cody Rhodes gets going.
Cody Rhodes: You’re right, AJ. I have made some big decisions in my career. I walked away from WWE. I walked away from New Japan. I walked away from Ring Of Honor. My buddies and I started somewhere else, and I walked away from there, too. The truth is, I’ve never been afraid to walk away, to chase something greater. I did not quit, instead I bet on myself that I was something more. I gambled on myself, and AJ, I was right. If I have quit, I would not be standing here holding the north star of the WWE, the most important title in entire game, I would not be standing here, WWE Champion. You’re someone that I idolized my entire career. You did things right; you did things honorable. If anybody quit, you quit on yourself. Because what did it take to get a WWE Championship rematch, you had to pretend to be Mark Henry for a night. If anything, “The Phenomenal One” has become a resentful coward. And that is a bitter pill to swallow, but I have no problem shoving that pill down your throat, and making you say the words, I Quit.
AJ Styles: You see, you see how natural it is for you to say these words, I Quit? It’s natural for you. I can’t quit being phenomenal. Damn, Cody, don’t you know, my family would rather have me at home. I put my body on the line, night after night after night. I’ll tell you, these people in Glasgow, the whole WWE Universe the same thing I told them. I am done when I say I’m done. I’m not saying it’s going to be easy, Cody, it’s not. I saw you in Hell In A Cell with Seth Rollins, with a torn, you didn’t quit, I realize that. But you’re not going to be in the ring with Seth Rollins, you’re going to be in the ring with “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. And I’m going to do whatever it takes to get that WWE Championship. And if that means beating you to a bloody pulp, tearing you to pieces, whatever it is I got to do that beats you so badly, that saying I Quit would be like a gift to you, that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Carmelo Hayes PromoÂ
Hey, hey, put the spotlight over here. I’m in the suite. Yeah, back here, put the spotlight over here. Okay, hold on, what the hell did I just watch? Hey, you’re telling me that LA Knight flew all the way to Puerto Rico, which by the way, is way more beautiful than Glasgow, Scotland, to be honest. Hey, you know it’s true. He flew all the way to Puerto Rico just so he can swim in Logan Paul’s pool and let off that weak ass Aladdin line. Hey, LA, you thought you cooked, but check the temp, it was medium rare trash, just like you.
Hey, some dudes will just do anything for clout, huh. Three weeks, begging for an opportunity. You know the difference between me and you, LA? I don’t chase opportunities, opportunities chase me. Okay, and that’s why I already have an opportunity to qualify for Money In The Bank next week, so I’ll never have to beg for an opportunity like LA Knight. Hey, and you’re going to love this one. When I win that, not only will I be HIM, but I’ll also be one step closer to being Melo In The Bank.
