Grayson Waller Calls Atlantic City America's Saddest City as WWE Brings 2 Shows to Boardwalk Hall

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 30

Summary

  • Grayson Waller used WWE’s Atlantic City stop to brand the resort town “the saddest city in America” in a beachside social-media video posted during the visit.
  • Boardwalk Hall hosted “Monday Night Raw” and a taping of “Friday Night SmackDown,” with Waller mocking the city as “Las Vegas for people who have given up on life.”
  • The jab played off Atlantic City’s long-running image problems, with the report noting crime and corruption have damaged perceptions of the once-glittering casino destination.
  • Matt Cardona pushed back with a more affectionate take, writing on X that “the pro wrestler” version of himself was born in Atlantic City through his past Game Changer Wrestling run at the Showboat Hotel.
