The TakeOver match card is rounding out.
Since losing the Million Dollar Title match to L.A. Knight on the 7/6 edition of NXT, Cameron Grimes has taken on the role of being Knight’s butler. Following Knight’s singles win on tonight’s show, both he and Grimes were joined in the ring by WWE Hall Of Famer Ted DiBiase.
DiBiase encouraged Grimes to remove himself from the situation he is in with L.A. Knight and Knight agreed to give him the opportunity to do so. At TakeOver 36 on August 22nd, Grimes and Knight are competing for the Million Dollar Championship and if Grimes loses, Ted DiBiase will become L.A. Knight’s butler.
