Developments: 2. Discussions regarding WWE roster dynamics and character trajectories have centered on several key performers. Oba Femi, following victories over Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 and inside Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam, has prompted debate among veterans regarding whether he should remain a popular ‘babyface’ or transition into a ‘heel’ role. Grayson Waller has also been a focal point of roster updates. Initial reports indicated he was being positioned as a top performer in NXT with potential for a future WWE Championship run. Subsequently, Waller expressed frustration regarding the conduct of younger NXT talent toward CM Punk, criticizing them for acting like “fanboys” by surrounding Punk for photos, a behavior he described as “embarrassing”. Additionally, creative discussions have touched upon the potential for Alexa Bliss to turn against Charlotte Flair, though current momentum suggests maintaining their partnership to build engagement. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-02: WWE roster updates involve Alexa Bliss and Grayson Waller's comments on CM Punk WWE discussions highlight potential character turns for Alexa Bliss and Grayson Waller's criticism of NXT stars for their behavior toward CM Punk at a recent live event. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wwe-roster-updates-involve-alexa-bliss-and-grayson-wallers-comments-on-cm-punk ### 2026-08-18: WWE stars Oba Femi and Grayson Waller face major career shifts WWE stars Oba Femi and Grayson Waller are facing significant career shifts, with discussions surrounding Femi's character direction and reports of a major push for Waller in NXT. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wwe-stars-oba-femi-and-grayson-waller-face-major-career-shifts --- Cite as: WWE roster and character development.
