Cameron Grimes was set to face Damien Priest on this night, but an hour before showtime he’d attack him in the parking lot. Grimes would squish Priest with a car door, injuring the back. He’d still come to the ring, and claims Priest is a no-show, asking the referee to come raise his hand, but Priest stomped down to the ring ready to go.
Cameron Grimes Is Ruthless
Cameron Grimes would quickly attack Priest as he got inot the ring, but Priest would get a chance to breath before the bell rang. A big right hand would drop Grimes, but the ribs and back were an easy target allowing Grimes to prevent control.
Priest would fight valiantly, but his powerful moves like the chokeslam were off the table, and strikes to the back wouldn’t work. He’d manage a sitout chokeslam, but fall to the mat in pain afterwards, unable to follow up.
After the chokeslam, Grimes would roll to the outside and pretend to leave the match, but it was a clever ruse to draw Priest out the apron. Grimes would hit the Cave In stomp on the outside, and rely on the 10 count to get a win, but Priest rolled in at 9. Another Cave In attempt in the ring would be missed, but Grimes was persitent and hit it in the middle of the ring for a pinfall.
Damien Priest’s Babyface Turn Is Complete With This Match
Ever since he became a bigger star after his amazing performance at NXT Takeover: In Your House, he’d become a fan favorite. Since that day, he’s been on a steady climb as one of the biggest babyfaces in all of NXT. With him fighting through potential injury to face Grimes on this night, that turn is complete. That’s not something a heel does, and with his fast paced style, this is a better role for him. It also helped to sell how much of a scumbag Grimes is, and his bragging in the coming weeks will be insufferable.
We have not seen the end of this feud, and there is a great match in the works here. Will Damien Priest win the next encounter with Cameron Grimes? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
