After a week of hype and a message to the WWE Universe about his broken leg, Grayson Waller was over-the-moon to have the biggest guest of his SmackDown career on The Grayson Waller Effect, Logan Paul, but what would the social media star have to say?

When WWE started releasing dozens of performers due to “budget cuts” during the COVID-19 pandemic, it left many wrestling couples suddenly working for different companies.

If there’s one performer in the WWE Universe with a massive question mark next to their name, it’s Natalya.
