Former WWE Superstar Cameron Grimes has spoken out about his release.
Grimes, real name Trevor Lee, posted an emotional video on April 23rd to inform the world that he was the latest wrestler to be cut from his contract. Following his main roster call-up in 2023 the former Million Dollar Champion was used sparingly and his final match saw him lose quickly to Bron Breakker shortly after Breakker was called up to the main roster.
With cuts always a possibility in WWE, Grimes was aware that his name might get called if it was time to release stars, however, according to the former WWE star, he was told otherwise.
Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Grimes admitted that he was concerned about his job when he started portraying a more business-savvy persona. Having concerns, Grimes stated that an executive told him that he would always be employed with the company:
Literally the last time I was at TV, I had a pretty high executive tell me — because, you know, I was worried. Starting this stock market gimmick, it made me see businesses in a different light, you know what I mean? Following these companies and playing with stocks, I would see things in a different light. So I knew that I haven’t worked in over a year and I’m making a decent salary. So I knew that if someone was to look at the books, I’m going to be the first person that’s going to be cut. If you’re looking at it strictly as money-wise. But if you’re looking at it as like, ‘Ok, well if this is a talent that can do something for us.’ You know what I mean, they’re going to keep me.
So I was told by a high executive last week on Friday that I would always have a job here. I would never have to worry about losing my job here, after expressing my concerns like that to him.
And then five days later, they called me and told that I do lose the job. So I don’t know.
