#2. Grayson Waller comments on working with AJ Styles

AJ Styles is in the twilight phase of his career. The Phenomenal One has taken on the veteran role in the last few years, helping rising stars get more spotlight. In 2022, he had a brief stint on NXT, where he faced Grayson Waller, among others.

In a recent interaction with Chris Van Vliet on INSIGHT, The Aussie Icon credited the former WWE Champion for helping him during the early days of his career.

"I think the two that—the first one was AJ Styles in NXT. I went so quickly from being the fourth best member of a WarGames team that no one cared about, that everyone was saying, 'Why is he even in it?' to four weeks later, being the guy who took [Johnny] Gargano out of NXT and wrestling AJ Styles on NXT TV," he said.

The SmackDown Superstar added:

"And this was back when the main roster guys did not come down to NXT. So I think that quick transition of being nobody into somebody in wrestling one of the best of all time; that was extremely surreal!

AJ Styles is currently sidelined due to an injury. The legendary wrestler is expected to be on the shelf for a while, with his next run likely being the final full-time run of his career.

#1. 3-time WWE champion says he won't wrestle again

Maven, who retired from pro wrestling in 2007, returned to action in 2015. However, the three-time WWE Hardcore Champion has competed in just a handful of matches in the last nine years. His final in-ring outing came in March 2024.

In a recent interaction with Conrad Thompson on The False Finish, Maven closed the door on a possible comeback, noting that he cannot take the risk of injuring himself.

“Nah. Well, yeah, okay, I have the itch, but I’m also reasonable. I’m almost 50 years old. Guys like Ricochet have proven to me that the athleticism of the business has long passed me by. To get in to be a competitor, I’m just a rational human being; I know that that’s never gonna happen,” he said. [H/T: Fightful]

Maven was a part of WWE for nearly five years. He is famously known for eliminating The Undertaker during the 2002 Royal Rumble Match. He also won the Hardcore Championship on three occasions during his time with the global juggernaut.
