WWE has already put together a stellar match card for the fans at Crown Jewel. However, if the word on the internet is true, fans might be graced with yet another special segment on November 4. That said, SmackDown superstar Grayson Waller recently took a jibe at Cristiano Ronaldo amid rumors of his possible appearance at WWE Crown Jewel.

The Aussie Icon recently took to X and sent a short message, trolling the football icon Cristiano Ronaldo. He had quite a few strong words about the sport of football as a whole. Grayson Waller went as far as calling the sport “mediocre.” He also put up a GIF of the Al-Nassr star, mocking him.

Football is arguably the most popular sport in the world. The global reach of the sport itself is a testament to the enormous popularity of Cristiano Ronaldo. However, it appears that Grayson Waller is still not impressed by the former, as he called football a “flop” sport. It remains to be seen whether Ronaldo has something in response to Waller’s unsolicited opinion or not.
