There's a lot more on the line than the Million Dollar Championship at NXT TakeOver 36 as LA Knight defends the title against Cameron Grimes. Tonight on WWE NXT, there was a faceoff between Knight and Grimes following the former's victory over Andre Chase.

While Knight continued to belittle Grimes, this brought out WWE Hall of Famer "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. The segment led to a match being signed between Knight and Grimes for the Million Dollar Championship at NXT TakeOver 36.

The stipulation? If Knight wins, DiBiase becomes his butler instead of Grimes.
