In his pursuit of infamy within WWE, Grayson Waller has become notorious for his incendiary remarks, particularly ones where he revels in controversy. True to form, Waller has reaffirmed his previous comments that equated Scottish women with characters from the movie ‘Shrek.’
As an Australian superstar, he has repeatedly expressed disdain for several countries, excluding his home nation. His previous statements, where he compared Scottish women to the titular character from ‘Shrek,’ garnered significant attention and backlash.
Following a wave of negative reactions to his comparison, Waller issued an apology on Twitter directed at Scotland. That situation originated from his problematic declaration that likened all Scottish women to Shrek.
The ‘apology,’ however, was anything but repentant. Instead, Waller reiterated his sentiments, further commenting that some Scottish women reminded him of Donkey, another character from the ‘Shrek’ series.
“About to jump on a very long flight to Scotland, got myself a little rum and pineapple here, a little treat to get through the next nine hours thinking about the fact I have to go back to that hole.
“Last time I was in Scotland I got myself into a little bit of trouble. I might have said that all the women in Scotland look like Shrek. People were upset, it was in the newspapers, I had dozens of DMs and I did feel bad about it.
“But then I read the DMs, and I put a green filter over all the profile photos of the ladies messaging me, and turns out I was right, they do all look like Shrek! Although a few do look like Donkey.”
Participants in the upcoming Grayson Waller Effect segment on the June 14th edition of Friday Night SmackDown, including Waller and Austin Theory, will give fans something to watch for—whether Waller will once again liken Scottish women in the audience to Shrek.
