    On the latest episode of WWE NXT, Grayson Waller made a surprise appearance and put the roster on notice. The former WWE Tag Team Champion expressed his frustration with his booking and targeted Austin Theory.

    Waller asserted that he carried Theory and was now ready to chase the NXT Championship. He mocked the entire NXT men’s roster, calling them lazy. The WWE Universe is already loving Grayson Waller’s promo.

    Meanwhile, this move subtly confirms that he is no longer part of Monday Night RAW. In this article, we will discuss three reasons why Grayson left the red brand.

    #3. WWE is finally planning to rebuild him

    After Austin Theory split with Grayson Waller, the company paired him with Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston. However, when The New Day departed from the company, Grayson was left with no major plans.

    Theory is currently part of The Vision and the World Tag Team Champion. Amid this, the 36-year-old star’s return to NXT and departure from Adam Pearce’s show could be a strategic move to rebuild Grayson Waller as a singles star.

    The former champion is already being showcased as a major threat to the NXT Championship. So, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he becomes champion and rules the developmental brand. A major title reign would lead to a career revival for Waller in the Stamford-based promotion.

    #2. No major plans in WWE’s main roster

    The main roster is already stacked with massive talent and star power. Due to the depth of the roster, Grayson Waller barely found his place and didn’t get enough television time.

    Even with SummerSlam 2026 on the horizon, the Triple H-led creative regime had no plans for him. Having no significant direction could be another reason why he left the red brand and is now part of the black-and-silver brand.

    #1. NXT needs a major roster talent

    A few months back, the NXT roster was stacked with stars like Oba Femi, Trick Williams, Ricky Saints, Sol Ruca, and others. Recently, all of the major names have moved to the main roster. The Ruler was regarded as one of the biggest attractions in the developmental brand, but he is no longer there.

    With that, the Shawn Michaels-led brand needs a major star on its side, which could be the reason Grayson Waller left RAW and joined the NXT roster.
