Former WWE wrestler signs with MLW, wants to show he is ‘more than just a comedy promo act’
Trevor Lee, formerly known as Cameron Grimes in WWE, has signed with Major League Wrestling (MLW).
Lee told Fox News about his signing with MLW and that he looks forward to the opportunities the promotion can provide especially with their association with CMLL and NJPW.
“I’m just excited to be able to really kinda do anything. These past couple of years I’ve just been kinda waiting on a good opportunity and I feel like MLW is kind of presenting that opportunity. I really like the ability to be able to work with CMLL, to be able to work with New Japan. So, it’s really cool to see what what’s going to come out of this.”
Lee discussed the promotion’s efforts towards crowd engagement influencing his decision to sign with them.
“I think what really entices me to want to work with MLW is they do have a great production. When you watch the product, it looks good, the crowds are big, the crowds are loud. You know that’s really what you’re asking for, when you take a kind of a step down, MLW isn’t WWE but they’re not an indie either, you know what I mean? They’re right there. So, it’s nice to be able to be in a place that can represent you well, show you well and also give you a good batch of talent to work with as well with so many different companies that can come through there.”
Lee emphasized his goals for MLW is to have elite tier matches while proving he’s more than a comedy act.
“My goals for MLW is just to keep showing what I’m good at, right. 32-years-old with still a lot of time left on the clock, hopefully. So, with MLW I want to be able to show that I’m more than just a comedy promo act. I can have these elite tier matches.”
Lee has been competing on MLW since 2024 not long after his WWE release. He was mostly associated with NXT before being drafted to SmackDown in 2023 for barely a year before his exit.
