- For the first time since December, Cameron Grimes is set to appear on NXT television.
WWE has announced that Grimes will make his return on next Wednesday s episode of NXT. Grimes hasn t appeared since an angle where his leg was attacked by Timothy Thatcher on the December 9 edition of NXT.
Grimes lost a strap match against Dexter Lumis at NXT TakeOver: WarGames in December. Grimes then lost to Tommaso Ciampa on the post-TakeOver: WarGames episode of NXT, with Grimes getting into a confrontation with Thatcher after the match and having his leg attacked. It was said the following week that Grimes would be out of action for 4-6 weeks.
Watch: Karrion Kross Confronts Edge During NXT
✖
This week s NXT saw Edge make his first appearance on the Black & Gold brand. Midway through the show he interrupted a confrontation between Finn Balor and Pete Dunne, saying that he may use his Royal Rumble victory give himself an NXT Championship match against the winner of their
NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day match. But as he left the Capitol Wrestling Center he was immediately confronted by Karrion Kross. You have a very big decision to make, Kross said. It s a moment you re going to have to live with for the rest of your life. So I hope you choose logically, not emotionally. Because in the end it s not going to be Pete Dunne or Finn Balor. It s going to be me, taking back the title that I never lost. Because time tells all, even for the Ultimate Opportunist.
