5 finishes to AJ Styles vs Grayson Waller on WWE NXT 2.0

Grayson Waller has become one of the most well-known superstars in WWE NXT 2.0. He impressed at NXT TakeOver: WarGames as his Team 2.0 picked up the win.

However, it was the episode of NXT that followed where Waller made the biggest impact. The heel attacked Johnny Gargano when he was making his farewell speech. The Australian Superstar beat down the NXT legend and put him through an announce table to put an exclamation mark.

AJ Styles appeared on NXT soon after and confronted the young superstar. A storyline between the two men developed, and a match is now booked between the two WWE Superstars for the January 11, 2022 episode of NXT 2.0.

Take a look at the five possible outcomes of the match between Grayson Waller and AJ Styles on the upcoming episode of NXT 2.0.

#5. AJ Styles teaches Grayson Waller a lesson on WWE NXT 2.0

The Phenomenal One will compete in his first singles match in NXT on Tuesday. Styles has previously teamed up with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to take on Keith Lee, Matt Riddle, and Tommaso Ciampa in 2019.

Styles has praised NXT on several occasions, but he is unhappy with Grayson Waller, whom he will look to teach a lesson on the upcoming show.

The former WWE Champion has competed against nearly every big name in the pro wrestling industry. His previous match against Omos did not go too well, but he will be ready to take on a superstar who matches his size.

Styles could finish Waller off with the Phenomenal Forearm and also add a Styles Clash for good measure before pinning him. A loss will not hurt Waller’s value as he will get a good rub from a match against the former WWE Champion.

NXT could also continue the rivalry between the two men heading into the 2022 Royal Rumble. A rematch between the two men at the pay-per-view will put Waller on the map.

#4. LA Knight fails to stop Grayson Waller on WWE NXT 2.0

Waller has already made a few enemies in WWE NXT 2.0. Surprisingly, the men he has ticked off over the past month haven’t shown up to exact revenge yet.

One of the men whom Waller attacked was LA Knight. Not just that, Waller stole his car. NXT could go back to build that storyline in the upcoming episode.

Waller and AJ Styles could end up having a great contest before the heel tries to use some illegal ways to pick up the win. LA Knight could then show up to stop Waller from picking up a win. However, the distraction could lead to Waller taking advantage.

A roll-up victory would let Waller pick up the biggest win of his career. It would also protect Styles from picking up a clean loss in his first singles NXT match.

Meanwhile, the NXT creative team could start working on a full-blown rivalry between LA Knight and Grayson Waller.

#3. Grayson Waller puts AJ Styles through the announce table on WWE NXT 2.0

in the episode of WWE NXT 2.0 after TakeOver: WarGames, Grayson Waller put Johnny Gargano through the announce table. His actions upset nearly everyone backstage, and he was refused entry into the NXT locker room.

The heel could look to pull off his signature maneuver once again. WWE could allow Waller and Styles to put on a banger before the heel gets frustrated with The Phenomenal One.

Waller could then drag Styles out of the ring and put him through the announce table before taking him back into the ring and pinning him. It would be a fitting way for Waller to finish off another legend in NXT.

WWE could look to give the Australian superstar a massive push at Styles’ expense. He is a fast-rising star who could move to the main roster soon.

#2. Dexter Lumis gets involved to help AJ Styles win on WWE NXT 2.0

Apart from Tommaso Ciampa, Dexter Lumis could have come out to help Johnny Gargano on his farewell night on WWE NXT 2.0. Lumis had suffered a hand injury at the hands of Carmello Hayes and Trick Williams a couple of weeks before Gargano’s retirement.

The Tortured Artist did make a return to scare Williams and Hayes away. However, he hasn't confronted the man who attacked his on-screen father-in-law.

WWE could change all that on the upcoming episode. Lumis desperately needs to get into a new rivalry to stay relevant on the brand. He hasn't had a meaningful feud for some time now.

He could show up on the show and distract Waller long enough for AJ Styles to pick up the win. The angle will help Styles walk out of NXT with a victory. He's a top WWE Superstar who needs to be protected on the developmental brand. Meanwhile, it will allow NXT to begin a new rivalry between Lumis and Waller.

#1. Grayson Waller puts down another legend to reach the top of WWE NXT 2.0

WWE NXT 2.0 will likely look to protect AJ Styles, especially since the former WWE Champion has already taken a loss to Omos.

However, The Phenomenal One could look to give another rising star the right rub. Styles and Grayson Waller will likely put on a show-stealing match on NXT.

While Styles is the bigger star in the contest, WWE could look to give Waller the biggest win of his career. The heel could pick up a clean win over Styles after hitting his finisher.

The win would strap a rocket to Waller's back and take him straight to the top. NXT looks to be high on the Australian Superstar who has already had some big moments in WWE.

A win over Styles would cement him as the biggest star in NXT. He's already proven himself on the mic and in the ring. The company could look to fast-track him to the main roster following a big win.
