Cameron Grimes Recalls Last Conversation With His Father, Hypes NXT TakeOver: In Your House

NXT Superstar Cameron Grimes was a recent guest on Busted Open Radio where he hyped tonight’s NXT TakeOver: In Your House PPV and shared a personal story about the last time he ever had the opportunity to speak to his father.

Grimes got emotional when talking about his last conversation ever with his dad, saying “I’m really crying. A lot of people don’t know this, a lot of people do know this. When I was told that I was getting signed to the WWE, I called my father, who was a solo father that raised me by myself. I called him and I said ‘Tracy, I made it to the WWE.’ And we just cried our eyes out. And that phone call, that was the last time I talked to my father. The very next week, he passed away. I live this dream now, in his memory.”

He talked about one his fans named Lindsay who has a similar story about losing a father and said “Lindsay, that you had to go through that moment. And I hope that you’re watching this now. That you had to go through that moment, and the fact that you saw this goofy guy, Cameron Grimes, right here. And you loved it and it just made you feeling just a little bit better. Lindsay I’ve got tears in my eyes right now just thinking it. Thank you so much Lindsay, and thank you Tommy for telling me that.”

Grimes turned his attention to the upcoming NXT TakeOver event and was asked about these PPV’s always delivering good shows. Grimes said “You know that when you watch TakeOver that TakeOver is the show to watch. Every time TakeOver finishes, people say ‘that was the best show that NXT has done.’ Here we are at TakeOver 34, and 34 times have people said ‘that was the best show that they’ve done. That was the best show that they’ve done.’ Now Sunday going into In Your House, do you think that that is really going to change? Do you think that we’re going to let you see a TakeOver and not say that that was the best show that we have done? The Fatal Five Way, you’re right, we have a lot of talent. Just that match alone there is a lot of talent. Pete Dunne, Karrion Kross, Finn Balor, Adam Cole, Johnny Gargano, do I need to even say more? The names sell the match enough. There’s nothing else I can say, besides those names, that will make you want to see that match more.”
