As the 2023 WWE Draft came and went, fans around the world eagerly awaited the announcement of who would be making the transition from NXT to the main roster. Among the names called up during the draft was Cameron Grimes, a name that has been circulating around WWE circles for quite some time. According to reliable sources, Grimes has been a fan favorite among WWE executives, including Triple H, and has been eyed for a call-up for months.
Despite officially being called up to SmackDown, Grimes had already made his presence felt at the previous SmackDown taping, where he wrestled a dark match. It was evident even then that WWE was high on him, with plans for a call-up already in motion. Grimes’ impressive performance had caught the attention of several higher-ups, including Triple H, who saw potential in him on the main roster.
Grimes’ impressive resume was further buoyed by the opinions of WWE agents and producers, who spoke highly of his work. In fact, one longtime WWE employee described him as a “slam dunk,” capable of working any number of styles. With such a strong endorsement, it’s little wonder that Grimes has a lot of momentum behind him as he makes the jump to the main roster.
