Grayson Waller is gearing up for another shot at the NXT Championship, having defeated Dragon Lee, Duke Hudson, and JD McDonagh in a four-way match on this week’s episode of NXT. Waller’s victory secured him a title match against new champion Carmelo Hayes at Spring Breakin’ on April 25.
The dramatic finish to the four-way match saw Waller capitalize on a running powerbomb by Lee to take down Hudson with a rolling cutter, earning the number one contender spot. The show ended with a tense staredown between Waller and Hayes, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting championship showdown.
The previous week’s NXT saw Hayes call out former champion Bron Breakker as a sign of respect, but the friendly encounter quickly turned sour as Breakker attacked both Hayes and Trick Williams. On this week’s episode, Hayes offered Breakker a spot in the four-way match, which he ultimately rejected, citing the championship as a curse. Hudson accepted the offer instead, leading to an altercation in which Breakker attempted to spear Hudson, but instead hit Andre Chase.
Waller’s last NXT Championship match came at Vengeance Day in February, where Breakker defeated him in a steel cage match. Now, with a newfound determination, Waller is poised to make his mark and capture the NXT Championship. Fans can look forward to all the thrilling action at Spring Breakin’, available to stream on Peacock, WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India, and other platforms.
