One of the major matches at WWE Payback was the steel cage match between Becky Lynch and WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. The match had many memorable spots including a superplex from the top of the cage. The 47-year-old’s performance brought appreciation not just from the live crowd, but also from upcoming talent Grayson Waller who praised Stratus.
While talking to Corey Graves on After the Bell, Grayson Waller revealed he would like to invite Trish Stratus to The Grayson Waller Effect. He said, “I’ve said it a few times, and I’m gonna make it happen, especially after her performance in Pittsburgh. Trish Stratus. I would love to have her on my show, I’ve always been a big fan of Trish, and somehow now, even more.” Waller admired Stratus’ performance at Payback despite being away from active competition for a long time.
Waller further said, “She disappeared for however long, like over a decade I’m sure, and comes back and is doing this, getting smashed in the cage and putting a knot in her head? I have a lot of respect for Trish and I’d love to have her on the show.” It looks like the WWE Hall of Famer earned another fan after Payback in the ‘Arrogant Aussie.’
Waller was impressed with Stratus’ performance inside the steel cage against Becky Lynch. His admiration for her has grown after the match and he is eager to invite former WWE Women’s Champion to his show.
