WWE’s Grayson Waller shared that he expected a fight with NFL star Travis Kelce and almost found himself in a showdown outside the ring. The wrestler recently revealed that after making a joke about Taylor Swift last year, he genuinely thought things might get physical when he ran into the pop icon and her now-fiancé, but nothing of this sort happened.
WWE star talks about Travis Kelce
In October 2023, Grayson Waller appeared on WWE’s The Bump and made a diss about Taylor Swift’s relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. “If Travis Kelce is happy settling for a 6, good for him,” Waller had said. That comment instantly put him in the crosshairs of Swift’s loyal fanbase.
“That’s a great line,” Waller reflected during his recent appearance on the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast. “I was pretty happy with that. But I didn’t even think about it until all of a sudden I have these cringe moms on TikTok who don’t spend time with their kids doing videos on me about how ugly I am. They were saying some wild stuff. Swiftie fans are mean.”
Then, Waller attended an annual gathering at Tight End University, which quickly became a tense situation in his mind. “Then [Swift] and Travis Kelce were both there. In the back of my mind, she doesn’t know who I am. But imagine if at some stage, they’re scrolling through their phone and they’ve seen this idiot Australian has said a really rude thing. I’m a bit like, ‘Man, I’m going to have to fight Travis Kelce.’”
Waller admitted that the thought of fighting Kelce seemed less appealing once he saw the NFL star up close. “Man, I’m going to win, but it’s going to be a scrap.” However, the tension didn’t turn into an actual brawl. Waller recalled being relieved when Kelce approached the group and casually chatted with them. But the WWE star didn’t get to meet Taylor Swift.
