“He truly saved my life the day before WrestleMania. I had difficulty swallowing the steak and even water wouldn’t go down properly… I thought, ‘I’m choking,’ and Indi Hartwell was just smiling at me. Thankfully, Theory realized the seriousness of the situation and acted swiftly. I remember thinking, ‘I can’t die on the eve of my WrestleMania debut. This would be so embarrassing.’ But my tag partner came to my rescue,” Waller recounted.
Theory added that Hartwell and her companion were unaware of Waller’s distress until the incident unfolded. Despite the unexpected turn of events, the duo of former WWE Tag Team Champions acknowledged the dramatic nature of Grayson’s choking episode.
