We got a hype package setting up the WarGames match at NXT TakeOver this Sunday between The Undisputed Era and the self-proclaimed Kings of NXT. Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Roddy Strong, and Kyle O'Reilly were in a limo looking back at the years they've had on top. However, now they're in a new situation.
The Era is fighting from underneath this time around. Still, there's no group better at taking advantage of whatever card they hold better than those four men. They haven't lost their confidence, and at WarGames, Team McAfee may in fact be the underdogs.
Candice LeRae and her team predicted that they'd be heading into NXT TakeOver: WarGames with the advantage, as Raquel Gonzalez would take on Shotzi Blackheart in a ladder match for that very opportunity. As of this moment, Blackheart's team only consisted of Ember Moon and Rhea Ripley.
August Grey vs Cameron Grimes on NXT
Ahead of his Strap Match against Dexter Lumis on Sunday, Cameron Grimes looked to make an example of August Grey. Bouncing the Thatch-as-Thatch-Can student off the corners, Grimes followed up with a knee to the gut, doubling his opponent over.
Grey managed to stun Grimes long enough with a lucky shot to hit a springboard crossbody for a near fall. A school boy almost gave Grey the win. Grimes kicked out and planted him with a tilt-a-whirl sidewalk slam before crushing him with the Cave In.
Results: Cameron Grimes defeated August Grey via pinfall on NXT.
Grade: C
After the match, Grimes told Lumis that he made a mistake wanting to be strapped up to him on Sunday. He wrapped one around Grey, and whipped the former EVOLVE star repeatedly with the leather.
As Grimes turned away to brag to the NXT Universe, Dexter Lumis swapped places with Grey. One good lashing with the strap was enough to send Grimes to the ramp, writhing and crying out in pain.
