29-year-old star considered by senior WWE officials and Triple H as a "slam dunk"

WWE's top management, including Triple H, are strongly behind Cameron Grimes to succeed on the main roster.

During the recently concluded 2023 Draft, the former NXT North American Champion was drafted to SmackDown. Grimes made his main roster debut on the May 12 episode of the blue brand by defeating Baron Corbin in a matter of seconds with the Cave In.

As per the recent report by Fightful Select, several crew members backstage were heavily banking on Grimes. Although the rookie was called up recently, the company had been eyeing him for a long time. Months before his call-up, the 29-year-old star had a dark match on SmackDown and impressed several higher-ups in WWE, including Triple H.
