The upcoming match between Cameron Grimes and LA Knight will now be a ladder match. This match will take place at NXT TakeOver: In Your House on Sunday June 13th. The match will also see Grimes and Knight compete for The Million Dollar Championship, which will be hanging above the ring.
The returning title was unveiled by WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase on the June 8th edition of NXT. The Million Dollar Man announced that the title would be on the line in a ladder match. Whoever is victorious at the In Your House event will continue the legacy of Ted Dibiase. The returning championship was the Million Dollar Announcement that was promoted ahead of the show:
The Million Dollar Championship was first introduced to WWE TV in 1989. Ted DiBiase lost in the tournament final for the then WWF title held at WrestleMania 4. The tournament was won by Randy Savage. The Million Dollar Man also tried to purchase the title from Andre The Giant, but once again was unsuccessful, with WWF not allowing this to happen. As a result, DiBiase created his own championship.
This is the first appearance of DiBiase’s championship since 2010. It was last held by his son, Ted DiBiase Jr. The belt was deactivated again later in the year.
