Grayson Waller Recalls How Austin Theory Saved His Life The Day Before WrestleMania

Grayson Waller says Austin Theory saved his life.

Speaking on the latest Savepoint on UpUpDownDown , Austin Theory recalled how Grayson Waller choked at dinner the night before WWE WrestleMania 40, and he did the Heimlich maneuver on him.

“My tag team partner [was] sitting to the right of me, and I just kind of look over at this guy, and he’s [mimics choking]. Then I’m just like, alright, I don’t know what’s going on,” Theory said. “Then I just see it keep happening. So then I’m like, oh, he’s choking. So I get behind him in the middle of the restaurant, and I’m trying my best, the Heimlich?

“I’m trying my best, I’m in the wrong area for sure. But in giving it everything I got. With these arms, when you’re Austin Theory, it’s pretty easy. How many pumps, was it two? Then he was like, ‘Stop.’ But it came out. He was choking.”

Grayson Waller then provided more details and stated that Theory saved his life.

“He legit saved my life the day before WrestleMania,” he said. “I was eating steak, and I’m like, ‘Uh oh, I have some water.’ As I had the water, the water didn’t even go down. I went [choking sound], like gurgled. I look at Indi Hartwell like, ‘Hey, I’m choking.’ She’s just sitting there smiling at me. Thank god this brother realizes what going on.

“Because in my head, I’m going, ‘Dude, I’m going to die the day before I debut at WrestleMania. This is the worst time to die. It’s gonna be so embarrassing.’ But then my tag partner came through, saved my life. That’s why we were so motivated to win the tag titles.”

Grayson Waller and Austin Theory will face The Miz and R-Truth on the August 5 episode of WWE RAW.
