The latest update on a WWE tag team potentially breaking up after previously having tension on WWE television.

For a good part of last year, there was a lot of tension between Grayson Waller and Austin Theory in A-Town Down Under during their reign as WWE Tag Team Champions.

In recent weeks however, the issues between the two have seemingly been ironed out, with the pair being moved over to the Raw roster as part of the ongoing transfer window.

However, the pair appeared on tonight’s episode of NXT, where they hosted an episode of the Grayson Waller Effect featuring NXT Champion Oba Femi.

During the segment, the Atlanta crowd were cheering on their hometown hero Austin Theory, giving him a babyface reaction and chants of ‘Turn On Grayson’.

Waller and Theory would react to the chants, with Theory physically turning his back to Waller, to which Waller replied ‘don’t turn on me!’

However, tensions between the pair re-emerged when Oba Femi challenged either Theory or Waller to a title match, which Theory seemed ready to accept, before Waller stepped up, offering himself up for the potential shot.

The segment ended with Trick Williams making his way out, saying that the shot at the title is his, before Femi dropped him with a Powerbomb.
