Australian WWE star Grayson Waller appears to have posted a cryptic warning following a wild interview on Tuesday’s Sunrise.
The professional wrestler, 33, was welcomed onto the show alongside American rival LA Knight, but things quickly devolved into the pair talking.
After the wild video was shared on X (formerly Twitter), Waller responded with an ominous image.
Wrestler David Schultz’s photo may not mean much to non-wrestling fans, but to those in the know, it was another aggressive move.
The recording is from a 1988 TV interview with wrestler David Schultz, who punched journalist John Stossel in the face for claiming wrestling was staged, then asked the interviewer, “Do you think this is fake?”

During Tuesday’s show, Natalie Barr looked visibly uncomfortable as Grayson’s verbal insults became heated.
‘I’m getting a little scared here. “I’m glad I’m on this side of the couch,” she said.
After Waller and Knight refused to perform a “signature” WWE move on each other, Natalie suggested they demonstrate with the help of a Sunrise floor manager instead.

The male employee then confidently strode onto the set and prepared to confront Waller, who seemed irritated that the man wasn’t taking it seriously.
John Cena’s iconic WWE theme music started playing as Waller threatened to beat the man up on live television.
“I don’t think you understand, because if I go there, we’ll have the police here, because I’m not going to give you a false punch,” Waller ranted at the man as he stood up from his seat.

“I’m going to punch you right in the jaw. The disrespect you give me when you act like this isn’t real. Do not act tough. You have no respect for us. Are you joking?’ he continued.
Natalie was visibly shaken by the outburst and nervously told Waller, “I have no disrespect for you.”
Matt, meanwhile, diffused the situation and did his best to mimic the referee before escorting the floor manager to the set.
However, Waller sat down and assured Natalie that he and Knight “loved the Sunrise host.”
The hosts quickly ended the interview moments later.
Waller became inflamed after a floor manager jokingly challenged him to a fight, shouting, “I’m going to punch you right in the jaw.” The disrespect you give me when you act like this isn’t real.”
