Triple H Planning ‘Kevin Owens-Like Debut’ For NXT Star’s Main Roster Call-Up

WWE

Details have emerged on an NXT star who Triple H ‘really likes’, who could potentially follow in the footsteps of Kevin Owens.

Since Triple H took over WWE creative in July, we have been seeing WWE begin to utilize ‘Triple H guys’ more on TV, rather than the type of wrestler Vince McMahon would typically push.

WWE now has a new favorite in NXT, with the company really high on Grayson Waller.

Per WrestleVotes, speaking with GiveMeSport, WWE sees a lot of potential in Waller.

Noting that WWE will try to do ‘something serious’ with Waller, WrestleVotes said:

“WWE really likes Grayson Waller and really see something in him.

“He may stay down in NXT, just so they can try to figure out something big for him, like Kevin Owens coming in and beating John Cena.

“They like him a lot, so that’s one guy that they’re gonna try to do something serious with.”

Kevin Owens notably made his main roster debut as NXT Champion on the May 18, 2015 edition of Raw, laying out US Champion John Cena. Owens went on to defeat Cena clean at the following Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.

Waller had a taste of the main roster in December 2021, making his Raw debut while feuding with AJ Styles.

Waller has faced a number of notable WWE names in recent weeks, battling Apollo Crews in a casket match at Halloween Havoc, and facing R-Truth on the November 1 edition of NXT.

Unfortunately, Waller’s match with Truth had to be cut short due to Truth suffering an injury on a dive to the outside.
