I was just thinking about this earlier today.
I know there's not enough TV time for everyone and I'm not saying they should have him beat Cody or whatever, but surely they should be doing more with him. He can go in the ring and he also has the ability to play both a babyface and heel very well (he's always reminded me of Heath Slater in that way). What gives?

its kinda weird how they've treated him. not everyone is going to be a star or anything but he was getting tons of time in NXT and then all of a sudden he's like.. nothing? it is weird, I thought HHH would be higher on him.

The dude was over like rover in NXT...untill 2.0 suddenly turned on him for Solo for still some absoloutley baffling reason.
I used to think it was because of Vince he was treated like he was on the main roster...but even HHH is like naw dawg you aint it now go get killed by Bron.
He could be a solid IC title contender if they move him to Raw and turn him heel so not like he is completely out of options.

(there's an idea for you, TWERKIN' MAGGLE!)

I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else but me but him getting super over in NXT as a heel in NXT hurt him on the main roster. He was so entertaining that they had to turn him babyface but the main roster audience didn't see that so he's just a generic guy who shouts "To The Moon" before getting squashed.
TLDR: Bald fraud bad, use vignettes.

What a feud this was. Would be cool to see them run it back on the main roster...

I think he got hurt in that his entire gimmick was set on a storyline in NXT. He wasn't someone you could easily introduce in a sentence or two. He needed video packages or segments.

Have him be the host of a game show called "Win Cam Grimes' Money".

It’s the downside of the NXT to main roster pipeline. Grimes got featured time, storylines, character development, all that stuff, in NXT because the churn of call ups and firings allowed for that to happen, for that space to open up. He gets to the main roster, he has most of a decade’s worth of call-ups in front of him. And I’m sorry, but who’s TV time do you take away to give to Grimes? Knight? Lashley? Owens? God forbid, any of the women?

I think he just needs to wait his time. Gable was misused forever and in time they found something for him. On a slighter level look at Tozawa. He was a jibber with nothing forever. He's at least doing something now with Alpha academy. If he's given enough time he might find something.

I saw a video post of his recently where he was at a Drake concert and he was just yelling questions at Drake while he was performing like he was at a press conference and it killed me. He has amazing comedic chops.

Oh man, I legitimately forgot about him. Decent acting chops, good wrestler, amazing comedic prowess....yeah there has to be something for him to do.

I wasn’t following for his NXT run, but he was an absolute stud on the indies. Hope he gets something post Draft for sure
