— We see a limo arrive at the building and Cameron Grtmes and Ted DiBiase emerge. Cameron and Ted make their way to the ring, with Grimes proudly showing his new Million Dollar Championship.
Ted tells Cameron that when he showed up, people were asking what was he trying to buy. Ted says he was looking for someone who could carry on the legacy of the Million Dollar Man and be the Million Dollar Champion. They would need to be strong of mind, strong of mind, and strong of heart. In addition to being athletically gifted, having a strong heart is important. You are not a quitter. You were knocked down and kept getting up until you became the Million Dollar Champion.
Cameron says if was to be completely honest, you drove me nuts. Ted says he did it on purpose because he was testing him.
Cameron says he was glad that Ted gave him that test. Cameron says he was looking at the shiny jewerly and the zeros in his bank account. He didn’t have an accomplishment to be that someone. As I was cleaning up trash and scrubbing toilets, I couldn’t let that happen to you. I was not going to let that dummy have the Million Dollar Man as his butler. At Takeover, we took care of LA Knight and Cameron became the Million Dollar Champion.
Cameron says he has a question for Ted. Where is Cameron Grimes going now? Ted says we know where we have to go and that is TO THE MOON.
