• NXT Star Suspended After Altercation With Shawn Michaels
In the main event of Saturday’s NXT Vengeance Day 2023 premium live event, Bron Breakker defeated Grayson Waller in a Steel Cage Match to retain the NXT Championship.
Carmelo Hayes came out after the match and signaled that he’s coming for the NXT Championship. Carmelo defeated Apollo Crews in a 2 Out of 3 Falls match earlier in the night.
During the post-show press conference, Grayson confronted 2-time WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels (who books NXT).
Waller made it clear that he’s unhappy and asked HBK why he’s not “his guy” instead of guys like Carmelo.
Matt Bloom (Albert / A-Train / Lord Tensai) had to step in and take Waller to the back.

WWE announced the following later:
“Due to his actions during the Vengeance Day Media Call, @GraysonWWE has been suspended for one week.”
Grayson then tweeted:
“I’m really sorry Shawn! Let me back! I promise I’ll take a nice photo with you like the other fans in the locker room #WWENXT #ImSorry”
