Aussie WWE star Grayson Waller has appeared to post a cryptic warning after a wild interview on Tuesday’s Sunrise.
The professional wrestler, 33, was welcomed to the show along with American rival LA Knight, but things quickly devolved into the pair trash talking each other.
After the wild video was shared on X (formerly Twitter), Waller replied with an ominous image.
The picture of wrestler David Schultz might not mean much to non-wrestling fans, but to those in the know it was another aggressive move.
The shot is from a 1988 TV interview with wrestler David Schultz, who slapped journalist John Stossel across the face for claiming wrestling is staged, then asked the interviewer ‘you think this is fake?’

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

The male staffer then confidently strutted onto set and prepared to face off with Waller, who seemed irritated that the man wasn’t taking it seriously.
John Cena’s iconic WWE entrance theme music began playing as Waller threatened to beat up the man on live television.
‘I don’t think you understand, because if I go over there we’re gonna have the police here, because I’m not gonna give you some fake punch,’ Waller ranted at the man, standing up from his seat.

‘I’m gonna punch you straight in the jaw. The disrespect that you give me when you act like this isn’t real. Don’t act tough. You guys disrespect us, are you kidding me?’ he continued.
Natalie was visibly shocked by the outburst, nervously telling Waller: ‘I’m not disrespecting you.’
Matt meanwhile diffused the situation, doing his best umpire impersonation before escorting the floor manager off set.
Waller however sat down and assured Natalie that he and Knight ‘loved’ the Sunrise host.
The hosts quickly wrapped up the interview moments later.
