Two big matches have been announced for the upcoming WWE NXT Takeover 36 event.
It was announced on tonight’s show that Million Dollar Champion LA Knight will defend his title against Cameron Grimes, in their third meeting.
Per the stipulations, WWE Hall of Famer “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase will become Knight’s butler if Grimes lose the match. Grimes is currently working as Knight’s butler after losing to him at Great American Bash.
