Cameron Grimes wants a showdown with John Cena.
Cena stated last Monday on Raw that he's not finished in the ring, but he doesn't know when he'll be back. Grimes is at the top of NXT and set to challenge Bron Breakker for the NXT Championship at NXT Great American Bash.
Should Grimes win, he would like to welcome back Cena to the ring.
"So when I win the NXT Championship, I would love to defend that against John Cena. I feel like anyone that's in this business would love the opportunity to be against John Cena in any type of light. You can book it in a Coconut show in Largo. I don't care if it's on television. You can just do it in the Performance Center, and we won't even have to turn the cameras on and I would love that opportunity," Grimes told Sportskeeda.
Though Grimes and Cena have never shared the ring together, they have shared a moment on television, perhaps unbeknownst to Cena.
"I think it's absolutely incredible that John Cena is back," Grimes said. "That man is a freak. John Cena is the man. I look up to him so much and any time that he can come back and truly be the star that he is on our show, I'm tuning in every time, all right. "I remember around like 2007 maybe, RAW was in Raleigh, NC and I got to go to the show. John Cena came out and he took his shirt off, he whipped it around and he threw it in the crowd. I caught that t-shirt and I remember catching that t-shirt and the first thing I did was look at the tag on the shirt. I had to know what size t-shirt he was wearing. He had a XXXL t-shirt on and it was still tight on his arms."
WWE celebrated Cena all throughout June to mark his 20 year anniversary in the company.
Fightful will have live coverage of NXT Great American Bash on Tuesday beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
