WWE's Cathy Kelley denies DM allegations amidst Grayson Waller controversy, Jey Uso's shocking return

WWE correspondent Cathy Kelley has firmly refuted allegations of sending direct messages to SmackDown sensation Grayson Waller, amidst a backstage controversy that emerged recently.

Cathy Kelley Addresses DM Allegations

The controversy arose during a special episode of "The Grayson Waller Effect" hosted by the Aussie star at Payback 2023, where Cody Rhodes was the featured guest. During the show, Cody made a surprising announcement that Jey Uso, who had recently left WWE, would be making his return to Monday Night RAW. This unexpected revelation led to an electrifying moment when Jey Uso stormed the ring and executed a Superkick on the 33-year-old Grayson Waller before celebrating with the audience.

Backstage Encounter Sparks Accusations

Following this explosive on-air encounter, WWE correspondent Cathy Kelley sought to interview Waller backstage, expressing concern about his jaw after the Superkick. In response, Waller displayed optimism, citing the blockbuster guests on his show and expressing confidence that the Superkick incident would soon become a viral sensation.


However, before departing, Waller made a surprising claim, asserting that Cathy had been sending him direct messages (DMs). Kelley swiftly rejected these allegations and vehemently denied ever having messaged Grayson Waller.

Grayson Waller's Reaction and His WWE Future

Grayson Waller's reaction to the turn of events was palpable, and he took to Twitter to express his discontent. He claimed that Jey Uso had attacked him without provocation and called for higher management to take action by terminating Jey's WWE contract.

Waller has been on the rise as a promising star on the blue brand, achieving a significant victory by teaming up with Austin Theory to defeat the legendary duo of Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar on SmackDown just this past Friday. As the saga unfolds, it remains to be seen what lies ahead for the outspoken Aussie sensation in the coming weeks.
