Edge praised Grayson Waller following their match on WWE SmackDown

Edge made an appearance on the Grayson Waller Effect on last week's episode of SmackDown. After Waller disrespected the Rated-R Superstar, the Hall of Famer informed Waller that they both had a match later on in the night.

Waller made his WWE in-ring debut against one of the biggest superstars in the business. Although he couldn't win against Edge, he still put on a great performance which the legend loved.

Speaking on WWE SmackDown LowDown, Edge praised the 33-year-old star and said Waller proved that he can back it up inside the ring.

"Well, I can understand that he [Grayson Waller] wants to talk a big game, he's trying to make his mark. He wants to get in John Cena's face, he wants to get in my face, I understand that because I was there and I can appreciate that. But he backed it up and if you can back it up, I'm okay with you talking all day along. So that's why I said he swam because he was in with the Rated-R Superstar in a sold-out Madison Square Garden. His first match on this roster, and he swam, so that says a lot about him," said Edge.

There is a rumor that Waller is set to feature alongside Stone Cold Steve Austin, and it can happen as soon as WWE SummerSlam.
