As we previously reported here on eWn, WWE released Cameron Grimes from his contract yesterday, ending his 5-year tenure with the company.
The news of Grimes’ release, as reported by Fightful Select, shocked many within WWE, considering his impressive skill set and track record.
Grimes, who had amassed a substantial fan base with his character portrayal in NXT, was a consistent performer in the ring, hinting at his potential for even greater success.
Grimes recently appeared on SmackDown and was regularly backstage at the show despite not being utilized.
The wrestling world is abuzz with anticipation over Grimes’ return to the independent circuit, with numerous wrestling federations expected to vie for his services.
Several indie promotions have expressed keen interest in working with Grimes shortly, sparking anticipation for his potential future in the wrestling industry.
While it was previously rumored that no further releases were expected beyond the initial five WWE releases, which included Jinder Mahal, Veer, Sanga, Xyon Quinn, and Xia Li, the shocking release of Von Wagner and Grimes has debunked the notion.
The future remains uncertain as it is still being determined whether last week’s releases were final and if/when additional cuts might be announced, leaving fans and talent alike on edge.
