Cameron Grimes Talks WWE Championship Aspirations, Carmelo Hayes & More


Cameron Grimes wants to become WWE Champion some day.

The WWE Superstar recently spoke with Sports Illustrated for an in-depth interview, during which he spoke at length about his championship aspirations.

Grimes also commented about his character, Carmelo Hayes and other WWE-related subjects while speaking with the popular sports media outlet

Featured below are some of the highlights from the discussion where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.

On his character in NXT and NXT 2.0: “I’ve been one of the consistent characters in NXT and NXT 2.0. For a while, no one was doing that style. I like what I do, and other people like it because they can connect with it.”

On Carmelo Hayes: “I was born to do this, but Melo is special, too. He has so much potential. So many guys have come in over the past couple years, but he’s been extraordinary, and you can’t deny that. During the Breakout Tournament last summer, he walked in the back after one of his matches, and I came up to him and said, ‘I can tell in your eyes that you’re not confident.’ When I see him now, he has a different look in his eyes. I hope he brings that look this Tuesday on Vengeance Day.”

On his champioship goals in WWE: “I sound different, I look different and I act different. Everyone should tune in. This is a huge match. I’ve never wrestled Carmelo Hayes before. We could be in for a five-star match, or we could be in for a one-star match where the only star is Cameron Grimes. Whether it’s Tuesday or whether it’s a year from now or whether it’s 10 years from now, I’m going to be a champion in WWE. I’m a rider. I’ve committed to this job; I’ll do whatever it takes. No matter what, I’m going to the moon.”
