Cameron Grimes Interested In Joining AEW
AEW interests Cameron Grimes
When WWE released Cameron Grimes from his contract in April 2024, many wrestling fans felt WWE had made a terrible mistake, with Grimes seldom used on the main roster after a fantastic run in NXT.
Grimes hasn’t wrestled since losing to Bron Breakker on the April 12 edition of WWE SmackDown, but he knows he will return to wrestling, with Grimes - aka Trevor Lee - saying the following during a virtual signing with K&S Wrestlefest:
“It happens, right? [Getting released] A lot of it was timing. It was poor timing but the beauty of this business is that it never ends. There’s never an off-season. There’s 52 weeks a year that there’s gonna be television being produced for wrestling… It went from being two shows a week to now being five shows a week. Being done 52 weeks out of the year. So chances are, out of 250 shows in the next year that’ll be on live television and I’m sure you’ll end up seeing me again, somewhere at some time. So, it’s unfortunate but, it helps build that story, and that’s where it all is. It’s all pieces that build that story and whenever I do make it back, it’ll mean even more,” said Lee.
Lee was asked specifically about a run in All Elite Wrestling, one that seemingly interests the former Million Dollar Champion:
“I have interest in absolutely every company. But, I do have interest in AEW. Why wouldn’t I? It’s doing what they’re supposed to do and it’s shocking the culture and it’s stirring up a firestorm that is the new era of wrestling so, of course,” said Lee.
Prior to his run in NXT, Lee was a multi-time X-Division Champion in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, with the ‘Carolina Caveman’ a shining light during middling times for the company.
