Pro wrestling is about to get a wrestler back on the free agent market following his WWE departure. For some wrestlers who get cut by WWE, they never wrestle again or work the independent wrestling scene while never making it to another big promotion.
For Cameron Grames, he’s expected to have a lot of interest. Grimes first made a name for himself in PWG and TNA Wrestling as Trevor Lee before signing with WWE, where he went to work in NXT.
In 2019, while on the brand, he had a memorable feud with LA Knight and Ted DiBiase. Grimes had a run as the North American Champion. He was called up to the main roster in 2023 as part of the Draft, where he was moved to the SmackDown roster. Grimes last worked a match on April 12th in a loss to Bron Breakker.
In April, Grimes was let go by the company alongside Von Wagner, Xyon Quinn, Veer, Sanga, Jinder Mahal, and Xia Li. Following the news being made, Grimes revealed he was told by a higher-up in WWE days before his release that he’d always have a job in WWE.
As seen below, Grimes is counting down the days with just a week left until he can talk with other promotions. He would be a great hire for any promotion out there.
One week until I’m a Free agent.
