Eddy Thorpe Promo
Just like my people have for centuries, I’ve been overlooked in NXT, but I chose to stand up, and I forced my way into the NXT Championship picture. And I proved that I belong. I heard the sounds of my ancestors; a great responsibility of any man will exercise his mind with suffering, subject his muscles and bones to hard work, and expose his body to hunger. Place obstacles in the paths of his deeds, so it’s to stimulate his mind, hardened his nature, and to prove wherever he’s lost. So, you can try to write Eddy Thorpe off, but understand, I didn’t write back. My destiny will not be a matter of chance. I will make my mark in NXT. And NXT will understand that Eddy Thorpe can’t be broken.
The Grayson Waller Effect With Special Guest: Oba Femi
Grayson Waller: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Grayson Waller Effect. Wow, I was going to say, before we got started, how about a shoutout to Atlanta’s favorite son, Austin Theory?
Austin Theory: Hey, yes sir. Hey, last night, we were partying with Quavo and 2 Chainz. But tonight, the party continues, A-Town Down.
Grayson Waller: Under! Hey, ATL, because they can’t spell out a full word, but that’s okay, tonight, our guest, everyone is talking about him, the WWE Universe is talking about him, the boys backstage keep talking about him. Let’s meet him. He’s the new NXT Champion. He’s the ruler. He’s Oba Femi. Welcome, champ. Yeah, give him your applause, he’s got a funny little dance, it’s pretty nice. Just don’t get too excited, you know, the fans in Atlanta aren’t that smart. Woah, sorry, sorry. Less than two years in NXT, you’re already the NXT Champion, never mind the fact that you’re the longest reigning North American Champion in history, you must be used to having that championship on your shoulder, lad.
Oba Femi: Oh, yes, I am very used to it. The NXT Championship is exactly where it needs to be.
Austin Theory: Do you guys want me to talk? Hey, this man right here started NXT at 24 years old, and ever since then, he’s been taking over, which kind of reminds me of someone. But coming from the youngest United States Champion of all-time, everyone in here, man, they see you as a main eventer on the main roster. But the thing is, there’s two guys, right here, who don’t see that at all.
Oba Femi: So, that’s why you invited me here? You invited me to your show to tell me that you don’t see my potential? That’s very funny, because I never seen either of you as NXT Champion. And I was right, because neither of you have ever been NXT Champion. I think it’s safe to say, that in two years, I’ve accomplished more than the both of you in NXT, combined.
Grayson Waller: Hey, don’t get it twisted, Oba, okay. I understand what you’ve done here. You’ve done a lot of things in NXT. But you’re only here tonight, because I want to see it for myself. I want to know if the hype is real, yeah, because there’s levels to this game. And yeah, you’re the NXT Champion, but WrestleMania 40, A-Town Down Under were standing on top of a ladder, WWE Tag Team Champions, while you’re in the suites with your little NXT jacket on, sipping on a juice box, hoping, wishing and praying that, one day, you can do what we’re doing.
Austin Theory: Hey, Oba, I want you think about this one. When the ink was drying on your NXT contract, Austin Theory had already competed in three WrestleMania’s. Actually, four, but who’s counting, you know. But let’s talk about you, man. You went to a great high school. You had a full ride from Alabama. And now you are the NXT Champion. But me and Grayson Waller are not in NXT, we’re on Monday Night Raw. And when it comes to Monday Night Raw or SmackDown, that’s the big leagues. And a guy like you, we’ve seen it a million times. A top draft pick, someone like you ends up in catering, and six months later, your ass is on the indies trying to sell t-shirts. All I’m trying to say to you is, A-Town Down Under, we’ve traveled all around the world, and all me and him do is create unforgettable moments.
Oba Femi: So, you guys have all this talk about being champions, climbing the ladder at WrestleMania, but after everything said and done, I don’t see no titles. And that’s your problem, that’s exactly why the both of you are where you are, right now, because of your big mouths. Your lips, especially you, Waller, your lips keep trying to write checks that your hands can’t cash. You think I got to where I am by running my mouth? I’m building a dynasty here, brick by brick. Trust me, it will be built. And you know what? You like moments? You like PLE’s? You like title opportunities? Here’s one for you. Two weeks, Washington, DC, February 15th, Vengeance Day. Now, the question is, which one of you will step up?
Grayson Waller: Hey, I don’t speak for my boy, Theory, but you need to understand something, Oba. I’ve stood in front of the best, Cena, Owens, Rollins, I’ve never taken a step back. I want that NXT Championship, lad. Let’s do it. Hey, who’s this?
AVA: Okay, okay, let’s dial it back before things get too out of hand. I just wanted to come out here to remind you, again, Oba, that as much as you would love to, you don’t make the matches around here, I do.
Trick Williams: That title is mine and you know it.
