10 WWE Wrestlers With The Triple H STINK

Hard to see what exactly Cameron Grimes could have done to affect any change in his inexplicably downward trajectory.

A highlight of NXT during some of the worst times in the history of the brand, his wacky heel shtick brought genuine laughs to a Capitol Wrestling Center that otherwise had nothing going for it. His in-ring work was never in doubt but it was everything else he offered too. When the hillbilly heel went from the poorhouse to the penthouse, he got over as a babyface. When it was felt his look needed a tweak, he didn't so much as twiddle the knob as rip it off, cleaning up his beard and hair and revealing a jacked and very main roster-ready physique as if by magic.

He'd run all the hard yards, so why couldn't Triple H do the easy bit and get him over the line?

Grimes has done almost nothing since being drafted to SmackDown, and while that at least means the slate is relatively clean, it's a little odd that he's been blanked by his bosses and the creative team. The man located pops in a pandemic - it's strange he's not being exposed to some of the company's hottest-ever crowds.
