The Rock engages in a Twitter battle with Grayson Waller

From the luxurious sets of Hollywood, the established showstopper, The Rock, has once again raised his famous eyebrow to the place which he calls his home. Johnson, recently engaged in a social media warfare with WWE SmackDown superstar Grayson Waller. The back-and-forth started after Waller posted a video on Twitter, in which he daringly claimed that his SmackDown debut at Madison Square Garden was better than what The Rock had. The video post came to the notice of The People's Champ, who delivered a retort on it in his typical suave.

Grayson Waller followed it up with a proposal to The Rock to enter the "Grayson Waller Effect". It is a segment on SmackDown, that Waller hosts and each week brings a new guest in it. Probably someday down the road, The Rock may drop by and look to give Waller a Rock Bottom.

Ouch! Those classic 1999 schoolyard insults really still hit.
You still have an open invitation to be a guest on The Grayson Waller Effect though! Sounds like you’re in desperate need of the Grayson Waller rub #GWEffect https://t.co/mB1rNgf6wF

Before The Rock, Grayson Waller had come face-to-face with the 16-time World Champion John Cena. In the recently culminated WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view, Waller interrupted Cena and impressively endured the hostile London crowd and the mic-work of the leader of the Cenation.

Following a skirmish with Cena, Waller made his in-ring debut against the Rated R superstar Edge. While it was a lost cause but he put in a commendable effort to demonstrate that he is a bright contender to become the main event superstar in the future.
