WWE star Grayson Waller almost found himself in a real-life slobberknocker after finding out that Taylor Swift fans are nothing to mess with. It all started back in October 2023, when Waller, 35, appeared on WWE's now-defunct web series The Bump and discussed Swift's new relationship with her now-fiancé, Travis Kelce. "If Travis Kelce is happy settling for a 6, good for him," Waller said at the time. During an appearance on the "INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet" podcast on Tuesday, November 4, Waller reflected on the controversial comment and the aftermath that followed. Wrestling Legend Says Taylor Swift Performed 3-Hour Concert for Sick Wife "That's a great line," Waller said. "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." Things got even more real when Waller and a group of WWE wrestlers were invited to attend Tight End University earlier this year, the annual gathering of NFL tight ends organized by Kelce, 36, San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle and former Carolina Panthers great Greg Olsen.

We went to the party. And 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 said he was ready to throw hands - until he got a look at Kelce up close. "I've said multiple times I'll fight Travis Kelce," the pro wrestler boasted. "And then I saw how big tight ends are and how big he was. Man, I'm going to win but it's going to be a scrap." Waller was prepared for things to come to a head when Kelce approached the group of WWE stars, but he was quickly able to let his guard down. "I was like, 'Here we go,'" Waller remembered thinking as Kelce walked up. "But he was super nice ... He didn't have to come over and chat with us. Super chill. Chatted with us for a bit." As for a fateful interaction with Swift herself, Waller had to settle for something a little less personal. WWE's Naomi Gushes About Husband Jimmy Uso as They Prepare to Welcome 1st Baby "I didn't get to meet Taylor officially," Waller said. "She did walk past me at some stage and I had to move and go, 'Oh sorry.' And she said, 'Thank you.' So I think that's the reconciliation." He added, "I guess in my head I thought, 'Taylor Swift, she's going to have all of this security around her.' She was just sinking beers with the boys, just hanging upstairs. I was like, 'She's a good one.'" Waller had a great seat to watch Swift's impromptu performance of "Shake It Off" with country star Kane Brown at the party, but admitted it didn't inspire him to buy a ticket to her next tour. "I'm good, I'm good," Waller said. "I went to one. She sung a song in front of us."
