Interview descends into chaos after wrestler threatens to punch show manager ‘straight in the jaw’

With live television, anything can happen and it often does. It's what makes it so special to the millions watching at home every single day.

While there are some hugely special moments captured on the live tele, sometimes, things can get out of hand.

And a perfect example of such came on Australian TV in a recent episode of Seven’s morning show Sunrise, where things were plunged into chaos.

Hosts Natalie Barr and Matt Doran were left visibly shocked as they interviewed wrestler Grayson Waller and LA Knight during Wednesday's (January 17) show.

Watch what unfolded below:

To start with, the interview was pretty bog-standard, as wrestling rivals Waller and Knight engaged in the usual crash-talking known in the sport.

However, this good-natured banter quickly escalated into something far bigger.

"I’m getting a bit scared here - I’m glad I’m sitting on this side of the couch," Barr said.

The pair then went on to discuss Logan Paul, who has certainly made headlines in the world of wrestling.

Following this is when the interview really plunged into utter chaos, as Barry tried to wrap up the segment.

The fact the interview was heading for a conclusion without any problems makes what happened next even more surprising.

It came as Barr asked the wrestling pair asked if they could 'give me one of your signature moves'.

“Can I give you one?” asked a perplexed Knight, as he wondered whether Barr was really asking him to body slam her on live TV.

"Well... our floor manager maybe? He’s available," she said.

You'd have probably expected here that a potential altercation would have come with the two wrestlers, but that was not the case.

Well, when the floor manager walked into shot ready for a fight, Waller was having none of it.

"I don’t think you understand - if I come over there right now, we’re going to have the police here, cos I’m not going to give you some fake punch. I’m going to punch you straight in the jaw," he said leaping from his seat.

"The disrespect that you have, even talking to me? You want to talk to me like this ain’t real? Don’t act all tough lad, don’t act all tough."

Perhaps for the best, Doran quickly hurried the crew member to make a swift exit from set, though Waller continued to rant about the 'disrespect' he’d been subjected to.

While all of this was unfolding, producers played John Cena's walkout song 'You Can't See Me' over the top.

The TV interview has quickly gone viral on social media with over one million views on X.

One wrote: "This made me a Grayson Waller fan."

While another added: "Wasn't a Grayson Waller fan until just now. Major, major respect to him for standing up for his industry like this, old school."
