Cameron Grimes made a name for himself on the independent wrestling scene, but took things to the next level while working in WWE NXT.
In December, it was reported that Grimes was going to be called up to the main roster. Grimes previously made his main roster in-ring debut by defeating Akira Tozawa on an October episode of WWE Main Event.
Grimes had his last match in November on NXT TV when he lost to Joe Gacy. However, Grimes has yet to be called up nor has he been seen on NXT television.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that WWE is still planning to have him on the main roster, but they don’t have a storyline for him so he’s just waiting for that to happen.
“By the way, I’ve been asked this question like a million times in the last couple of weeks. I’m exaggerating the number,” Meltzer stated. “What’s going on with Cameron Grimes? Okay, so the deal was that Cameron Grimes was finishing up in NXT, because he was getting called to the main roster. Right now, what’s going on is they are waiting for an idea for the main roster so he’s in limbo. He’s finished with NXT, and he’s supposed to be on the main roster, but they don’t have a story for him, so they’re waiting to come up with a story for me. So that’s him.”
