WWE raised the stakes for the feud between Cameron Grimes and LA Knight in their second match.
Grimes challenged Knight for the Million Dollar Title on Tuesday’s episode of NXT: Great American Bash. The stipulation to go along with the bout was if Knight won, Grimes must become his butler.
The match was in the first hour and they traded signature moves before going into various quick pin attempt spots. Knight hit a DDT onto the title and this led to a near countout spot, but Grimes got back into the ring. Knight hit his finisher for the win.
The two wrestlers previously worked a ladder match at the WWE NXT TakeOver: In Your House event where Knight won the title. WWE first introduced the title by DiBiase as an unofficial title in 1989 and it was most recently featured on WWE television in 2010 when Ted DiBiase Jr. held it.
On the post-TakeOver episode of NXT, Knight turned against “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase by attacking the legendary pro wrestler.
It will be interesting to see where this program goes next week on NXT. Heading into this bout, Grimes was listed as the favorite to win the bout even though Knight hadn’t held the title for that long.
