Grayson Waller Takes Credit For Causing WALTER’s Name Change

Unless you’ve been living under a rock over the past 24 hours, you will have seen the news that NXT 2.0 star WALTER is now called Gunther.

This decision has not gone down well with…anyone as far as we can see, but a fellow NXT star is now taking credit for the name change. It’s always good to have someone to blame.

Grayson Waller is claiming WALTER was too close to his surname, so it had to be changed.

Just so everyone knows, Walter was just too close to Waller, so I spoke to my lawyers, and they are GOOD at what they do. You’re welcome

While Grayson is likely joking, you wouldn’t exactly put it past WWE. When Alex Zayne was signed, he was forced to change his name as it had a slight resemblance to Zayda Ramier.

We’ll have to see whether the huge backlash to the name change will make WWE change its mind, or perhaps we’re getting the Gunter Experience next week.
