8 Ups & 2 Downs From NXT Stand & Deliver 2022

6. Cameron Grimes Does It For Dad

It's "Straight To The Moon" for Cameron Grimes.

The former Million Dollar Champion won his first official WWE title by outlasting everybody else in the ladder fray. It's nice to see him get this kind of recognition, especially after watching the dude work for so long and so hard on this brand. WWE came through for ol' Cam here.

A post-match promo about his father telling him he'd "be a WWE Superstar" was touching as well. Grimes added to it by saying: "I'm more than just a WWE Superstar - I'm a WWE Champion". Far too many promos lack this kind of emotion, so it was awesome to see.

Carmelo Hayes wasn't a bad North American titleholder by any means, but sticking NXT's secondary singles strap on a clear cut babyface is the right call whilst Dolph Ziggler holds onto the main one. Now, similar to Kai and Gonzalez, WWE better have a top challenger lined up.
