WWE Superstar Grayson Waller has seen the funny side of CM Punk's shocking release from AEW this week.
Punk's two-year tenure with AEW ended with a statement on Twitter, confirming that Tony Khan has released the veteran star. In the statement, Khan said that a legal investigation recommended releasing Punk, but the decision was his alone.
Punk has been released due to his involvement in a backstage altercation with Jack Perry at last weekend's AEW All In event in Wembley Stadium. Punk and Perry had a physical confrontation backstage which resulted in Punk putting Perry in a chokehold.
At WWE Payback 2023, Grayson Waller hosted his 'Grayson Waller Effect' talk show with special guest Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare admitted that segments such as these usually end with a fight, but he was eager to subvert expectations.
Rather than fighting with Waller, Rhodes revealed his big 'scoop': that Jey Uso has returned to WWE as part of the Raw roster. Waller would waste no time in antagonizing 'Main Event' Jey, saying that while Uso is a decorated tag-team wrestler, Jey has done "absolutely nothing" as a singles competitor. Jey would level Waller with a superkick in response.

Taking to Twitter after the segment, Waller spoke about being attacked during his show and demanded that Jey Uso be immediately fired from WWE. In case his nods to Punk weren't clear enough, Waller soothed his swollen jaw with a refreshing can of Pepsi as the cola brand is closely associated with the former AEW star.
