Blindfold match announced by WWE
WWE has announced that Cameron Grimes and Dexter Lumis will face each other in a Blindfold match on this week's NXT episode.
Cameron and Dexter Lumis had a Haunted House of Terrors match at the highly successful Halloween Havoc edition of NXT a couple of weeks ago. Cameron Grimes hasn't been the same since losing to Lumis at Halloween Havoc. Grimes lost to KUSHIDA on last week's NXT. Still, he managed to get some retribution by attacking Lumis after the latter's loss to Timothy Thatcher.
WWE noted the following while previewing the upcoming Blindfold match:
"Cameron Grimes has been outrunning the horrors of Dexter Lumis for some time, but he delivered a new nightmare for NXT's Tortured Artist last week. Grimes will battle Lumis tonight on NXT in a Blindfold Match after The Technical Savage orchestrated a surprise attack on his rival last week. With Lumis' head covered in a burlap sack, Grimes took aim at his recent tormenter with repeated strikes. Lumis broke down Grimes with a terrifying victory in their Haunted House of Terror Match at NXT Halloween Havoc. What will happen when both Grimes and Lumis are stripped of their sense of sight? Tune in to NXT tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network to see the Blindfold Match."
The Blindfold match should make for an entertaining viewing experience as the fans would be reminded of Jake' The Snake' Roberts' blindfold contest against Rick Martel from WrestleMania 7. It's interesting to note that AEW had a classic Bunkhouse match last week. NXT's response is by getting a throwback stipulation back for this week's episode.
What else to expect from this week's WWE NXT?
