The professional wrestling world was abuzz with the recent release of multiple WWE Superstars, leaving fans wondering what’s next for these talented athletes. One of the released stars, Cameron Grimes, has already booked his first appearance outside of the WWE, marking a new chapter in his career. Grimes, formerly known as Trevor Lee, was let go by the promotion last month, a decision that left many in shock.
Following his emotional video response to his release, Grimes has wasted no time in securing a new gig. Elevation Pro Wrestling has announced that the former NXT North American Champion will be making an appearance at their Homecoming event on July 27 in North Carolina. This marks Grimes’ first booking outside of the WWE, and fans are eager to see what the future holds for him.
Grimes joined the WWE in 2019 and had a memorable run in NXT, capturing the North American Championship during his time in the developmental brand. Although he never secured a championship on the main roster, his talent and charisma made him a fan favorite. His final match in the WWE saw him fall to Bron Breakker on an episode of SmackDown, a match that lasted under two minutes.
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter has shared his thoughts on Grimes’ release, calling his emotional video response “one of the saddest things” he has ever seen. Apter noted that Grimes had shared the news of his WWE signing with his father before he passed away, making his release years later all the more poignant.
As the wrestling world waits to see what the future holds for Grimes and other recently released stars like Jinder Mahal, one thing is clear: these talented athletes are ready to take on new challenges and opportunities outside of the WWE. Will they get the chance to return to the promotion down the line? Only time will tell. For now, fans can look forward to seeing Cameron Grimes in action at Elevation Pro Wrestling’s Homecoming event, marking the start of an exciting new chapter in his career.
