The NXT North American Championship is becoming a very prestigious prize for the members of the NXT roster. Despite a short history, it has been held by some of the best around. This includes Adam Cole, Ricochet, Johnny Gargano, Velveteen Dream, Roderick Strong, and of course the current champion Keith Lee. Cameron Grimes wants to be the next name on that list.
Cameron Grimes Took Out Dominic Dijakovic Last Week
While he wouldn’t have secured victory had Damien Priest not attacked Dominic Dijakovic from behind, the record books will always say that Cameron Grimes won the match. This is the victory which was able to shoot him into the position of a potential number one contender for this championship. Grimes has been a dominant force in the undercard of NXT, but has struggled in big matches. He recently failed to defeat Johnny Gargano, but did take Johnny Wrestling to the limit. With just one or two wins being all that is between him and stardom, he is going to take every chance to push ahead.
Interrupting Keith Lee Gets Massive Heat
Keith Lee would come down to the ring to address the crowd, and would hype up his title reign and mention the level of competition he has faced since becoming champion. It’s unclear what his ultimate purpose was as Grimes would interrupt to announce William Regal had granted him a shot at the NXT North American Championship.
Grimes would make his way to ring, only to be forced out in dominant fashion by Keith Lee. Lee would call this the biggest mistake of Grimes career, and promise he will kick his ass next week.
This segment proved that due to how much NXT fans love Keith Lee, anyone placed across from him will get massive heat from the crowd. He has becomed the most beloved man in the brand, and if he wasn’t holding the North American Championship he would be the one to face Adam Cole next. In the meantime, he is elevated his current title with every appearance, and should someone beat him for it; NXT fans will hate them more than they currently hate Johnny Gargano.
