Cameron Grimes Opens Up About His WWE Release – Former NXT Million Dollar Champion Cameron Grimes was one of several talents that were cut over the last week. However, Grimes’ release seemed to come as a shock to many backstage as he had appeared on WWE SmackDown as recently as a couple of weeks ago.
During an interview on Busted Open Radio, Grimes revealed that he was told by a high ranking official in WWE that he would always have a job.
“Literally the last time I was at TV, I had a pretty high executive tell me — because, you know, I was worried. Starting this stock market gimmick, it made me see businesses in a different light, you know what I mean? Following these companies and playing with stocks, I would see things in a different light. So I knew that I haven’t worked in over a year and I’m making a decent salary. So I knew that if someone was to look at the books, I’m going to be the first person that’s going to be cut. If you’re looking at it strictly as money-wise. But if you’re looking at it as like, ‘Ok, well if this is a talent that can do something for us.’ You know what I mean, they’re going to keep me. So I was told by a high executive last week on Friday that I would always have a job here. I would never have to worry about losing my job here, after expressing my concerns like that to him. And then five days later, they called me and told that I do lose the job. So I don’t know.”
The good news for Grimes is that he is already getting booked heavily on the indie circuit, and that there has been expressed interest in his talents by other companies.
