Cameron Grimes Becomes LA Knight’s Butler After Loss at WWE NXT Great American Bash

WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase brought back the Million Dollar Championship to WWE on it’s black and gold brand, NXT. After LA Knight won the Million Dollar Championship in a Ladder Match at NXT TakeOver: In Your House, he revealed he had nothing more to gain from the ‘Million Dollar Man.’

Knight attacked DiBiase on NXT after his coronation. This lead to Cameron Grimes to make the save, while also turning face in the process.

No matter what LA Knight brought to the table, Cameron Grimes wasn’t going down. Ultimately, Knight decided to pull out some cheap tricks to win. He rolled to the outside and took the Million Dollar Championship kept at ringside. He tried to get the title in without the referee seeing it, but got caught.

There was a little scuffle between the referee and Knight over the title. Eventually, the title fell outside the ring, while Grimes looked to get the pinfall win with a roll-up.

The ‘Caveman’ got the momentum with several impressive moves, and then went for the kill with his finisher, the ‘Cave-In.’ However, LA Knight saved himself by rolling outside the ring. Grimes didn’t want to give him a breather and followed him outside.

He went for a running knee strike from the apron. But Knight ducked it, and instead dropped Grimes hard on the apron. Knight then saw the Million Dollar Championship laying at ringside. He wasted little time and dropped Grimes head-first on the title with a vicious DDT.
