Ranking All 24 WWE Debuts & Returns In 2023

21. Cameron Grimes

Cameron Grimes felt like a can’t-miss wrestler when he was drafted to SmackDown this spring. He fits the mold of a modern-day WWE superstar perfectly: huge character, good promo work, solid in-ring work.

So why is it late 2023 and he’s only wrestled eight matches on TV, losing his last six bouts and winless since May? Grimes went from a superstar headed “to the moon” to a roster-filler, losing to Grayson Waller and Austin Theory in three minutes in separate matches this fall.

Cameron still has a big upside, so he could make a surge at any time, but it’s also conceivable that he ends up “lost in the shuffle” for the foreseeable future.
