Waller Calls Out For NXT Title Challenger

On the November 10, 2026 episode of NXT from the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida, NXT Champion Grayson Waller declared that he needed a new challenger after defeating CM Punk the previous week. Waller entered to CM Punk's music and stated that this was his house, that Punk had not paid his rent last week, and that beating one of the best ever made him the best in the world.

He announced that he had made things relevant again and called for a fresh challenger to step up. Shiloh Hill interrupted Waller, reminding him that Waller had previously talked a lot about NXT and that even though Hill had cracked his skull that night, he had spoken to Waller about it the next day.

Hill added that no one around there works harder than him and that he was ready to step up to the challenge. Waller responded that he liked someone stepping up but that Hill was not ready. Mason Rook then made his return by jumping Waller, which appeared to set up the next challenger for the NXT Championship.
