However, Waller’s comment has led fans abuzz, as the comment was both funny and unexpected. Could this be a subtle hint? A hint to the time when Waller took a shot on the People’s Champion and his reply made The Arrogant Aussie go hush?

The Rock throws a jab at Grayson

After sharing the ring with John Cena at the Madison Square Garden on July 7th 2023, Grayson took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to mock The Rock‘s debut gear, which he wore for his Maddison Square Garden debut. After making fun of the gear, he said Johnson’s signature line ” Do you smell what I am cooking?” before ending the clip.

Promptly, The Rock responded to Waller’s playful taunt, agreeing on the outfit’s cringe factor. Good-naturedly, he shifted responsibility for the outfit to Triple H. The Rock didn’t miss the chance to throw in a playful jab at Waller’s haircut. He stated that his hairstyle reminded him of a “jabroni’s balloon knot.
