Thank you so much for joining me.
I appreciate it.
You made your debut here shortly after Cameron Grimes came into his newfound
wealth.
What have you thought about him?
>> First of all, I don't know how you get into an interview without introducing
yourself but that's fine.
Here we are.
It's the one, it's the only, it's LA night.
Now that you know who I am, I'll figure out who you are later.
But when you talk about Cameron Grimes and
you talk about his wealth that he's amassed, congratulations to you, Cameron.
He did a very, very big thing for himself.
He's made himself a very nice nest egg, we'll call it that, okay.
And with that nest egg, he's been able to do some huge things.
Hell man, you see the cars he's driving around and
you see the house that he's running around in.
But at the same time, I can appreciate what he's done with that,
even though I'd call it luck.
100%, you want to get lucky with your little digital money, cool.
You're talking about walking, talking gold right here.
Yeah, I'm not a millionaire yet.
But when it comes down to it, I walked through the door here and
I can see he changed the game from day one.
And still as we run in tonight in your house, man,
you're talking about a whole different game for Cameron Grimes.
You're talking about a whole different game for LA Knight, and
you're talking about a whole different game for NXT.
>> You're a student of the game.
What has it been like working with and
sharing the ring with the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase?
>> Well, I'm gonna tell you what, look,
I grew up watching the Million Dollar Man when I was a little kid.
Gotta be honest, when I was a little kid, I said, I don't know about this guy.
But as I've grown older, as I've walked through this business,
walked down the maze of the wrestling business, I realized that there's a great
appreciation for a man like the Million Dollar Man.
Ted DiBiase has done things most of us can only dream of.
But in a very short while,
I'm gonna do things that only the Million Dollar Man could dream of.
And after tonight, it starts with the million dollar title.
It starts with cementing my legacy and taking that first step of hey man,
I didn't just come in here just talking.
I didn't come in here just talking trash to talk trash.
I came in here to walk the walk, just as much as I talk the talk.
I talk it better than anybody.
And you're gonna see that I'm gonna walk it better than anybody when I climb that
ladder tonight.
>> Thank you so much for your time.
We appreciate it.
What will it mean to you tonight if you climb that ladder and
grab that million dollar championship belt?
>> It'll mean the world.
Honestly, million dollar championship, but
to get to that thing I'm gonna have to go 15 feet in the air.
Do you know that ladder, that every rung is one foot off the ground?
So one step up that ladder is one foot higher off that ground.
I don't think LA Knight is ready.
He says he has all this kavork, he says he's a non-stop ass-kicking machine.
But is he gonna have that same confidence when he's at the very top of that ladder
looking down?
I don't think so.
Now what it's gonna mean for Cameron Grimes,
it's gonna mean that I'm the million dollar champion.
It's gonna mean that all this talking that I've been doing,
it means that I backed it up.
That's what it's gonna mean.
All these people say that Cameron Grimes has got a big old mouth, but
then I'll have a big old mouth with a big old shiny championship [LAUGH].
>> With all that said, what can the fans expect from you tonight?
>> Fans can expect for Cameron Grimes to be focused, let me tell you that, focused.
I said that in between these ropes, in between these turnbuckles, and
in front of those fans that Cameron Grimes could not be beat,
and at NXT TakeOver that isn't gonna change.
At NXT TakeOver in your house, everyone watching around the world and
everyone that is inside at CWC will see Cameron Grimes at the top of his game.
They will see Cameron Grimes climb that ladder, and
they will see Cameron Grimes grab that million dollar championship, and
after that they will see Cameron Grimes go to the moon.
Now if they don't like that,
they can just kiss my grits [LAUGH].
