WWE star Grayson Waller threatened a Sunrise host on live TV – leaving fans questioning if it was real or not.
Aussie Waller was joined by American LA Knight to promote Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, held in Perth.
WWE star Grayson Waller threatened a Sunrise host on live TVBut things took a twist when host Natalie Barr asked: “Give me one of your signature moves.”
A confused Knight replied: “Can I give you one?”
Barr then responded: “Well… our floor manager maybe? He’s available.”
A member of the Sunrise team then came into shot and pretended to make a fist – but it enraged Waller.
He fumed: “I don’t think you understand – if I come over there right now, we’re going to have the police here, cause’ I’m not going to give you some fake punch. I’m going to punch you straight in the jaw.
“The disrespect that you have, even talking to me? You want to talk to me like this ain’t real? Don’t act all tough lad, don’t act all tough.”
The heated incident divided fans online, with some suggesting it was a “shoot” a term used in pro wrestling to describe an unplanned or unscripted moment.
But others assumed Waller was refusing to break “kayfabe” – the act of remaining in character at all times.
One said: “Really want to hear what the camera dude told him away from the mic that set him off, right before standing up.
“He wouldn’t go off like that randomly…didn’t feel like he was working us at all.”
Another added: “It’s clearly a work.”
But one argued: “Kayfabe is alive and well!”
Another agreed: “Yes! Bring back kayfabe.”
