Grayson Waller is an Australian professional wrestler best known for his work in WWE, where he is currently signed to. Born in Sydney in 1990 as Matthew Farrelly, Waller was a contestant on Australian Survivor and at the same time, began his wrestling career in 2017.
Following his stint on Survivor, Waller fully committed to professional wrestling. Under the name of Matty Wahlberg, he captured several titles on the Australian independent circuit. His hard work and undeniable charisma caught the eye of WWE scouts, and in 2021, he signed a developmental deal, officially entering the world's biggest wrestling organization.
Upon entering WWE, Waller shed the Wahlberg moniker and donned the Grayson Waller persona we know today. His arsenal of maneuvers includes a devastating clothesline dubbed the "Running Knee" and a signature move called the "Waller Execution," a top rope elbow drop.
Waller wasted no time making an impact in NXT, WWE's developmental brand. He quickly established himself as a top prospect, winning the prestigious Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline in December 2022. He continued to climb the NXT ranks, even engaging in memorable feuds with established veterans like Johnny Gargano and even taking verbal shots at WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels.
Waller's penchant for getting under the skin of both wrestlers and fans alike earned him a call-up to the main roster during the 2023 WWE Draft. Now on SmackDown, he's already found himself embroiled in high-profile storylines and even had a dream match against WWE legend Edge at Madison Square Garden. Teaming up with fellow heel youngster Austin Theory as "A-Town Down Under," Waller is among the most hated wrestlers in professional wrestling, proving just how good of a heel he is.
Grayson Waller Theme Song
Grayson Waller uses “Eye on the Prize” as his theme song. The song, by Def Rebel, opens with a driving, almost cocky guitar riff that sets the tone for Waller's swaggering walk to the ring. The lyrics, while not explicitly mentioning Waller himself, feel are aptly written for him.
Before his current theme, "Eye on the Prize," Grayson Waller actually entered the ring to a song titled "Say So" by Def Rebel. Released in 2022, "Say So" carries a similar confident vibe but with a slightly different feel.
