The Black and Gold Brand is all about athleticism, heart, and the best wrestling performances you’ll ever see. Character building has also been one of NXT's biggest strong points.

Cameron Grimes is a perfect example of what NXT stands for and how newer talented wrestlers are given an opportunity on the brand. The Breakout Tournament finalist took on the former Cruiserweight Classic competitor Sean Maluta in a one-on-one match this past Wednesday.

This was a great chance for NXT to build on their undercard stars and bring them up to another level. Instead, wrestling fans endured a 3-second squash match, as Grimes caught a charging Maluta with a leaping double stomp and pinned him to score one of the quickest victories in NXT history.

If NXT wanted to leave a big first impression on the audience, then they could have allowed him to dominate for at least a minute before getting the pin. Grimes is a Superstar to look out for and NXT should allow him some more time in the ring to get fans interested in him.
