Bron Breakker and Cameron Grimes were out next and Grimes accused the champ of taking shortcuts. Breakker fired back but Grimes told him that he might be stronger and faster but he lacked heart.
🚨🚨🚨
#WWENXT @bronbreakkerwwe https://t.co/pAhdfPzzjF
Grimes brought up Breakker's dad and Bron attacked him. Grimes slipped out before Bron could land the move and sent the champ into the turnbuckles twice.
There's no backup plan for @CGrimesWWE. His sights are set on the #NXTTitle.
#WWENXT #NXTGAB https://t.co/U2qqNgjoIG
It looked like Bron's shoulder was out, and as the referees and medics came out to assist the champ, Grimes told him that he may not be able to beat Bron at 100% but he won't be at his 100% next week before NXT went off the air.
Will @bronbreakkerwwe be ready to compete at #NXTGAB?!
