Last week, Grimes shocked the world with an incredible short match. One double foot stomp was all it took for Grimes to make a huge impression on the WWE Universe and the USA Network. Tonight, he looked for a similar victory, though he got a little more than he bargained for with the always impressive Raul Mendoza.

Mendoza avoided the same spot that left Sean Maluta out cold in less than five-second last week, ducking the double foot stomp. Grimes was trapped in an arm wrench, with Mendoza putting some serious torque on his wrist. Both men traded pinfalls here, and when they got back to their feet, Mendoza sent Grimes to his back with a hurricanrana.
A springboard side takeover brought Grimes down to the mat. The NXT Breakout Superstar attempted to break away and finally escaped a side headlock as he made it to his feet. A running crossbody from Mendoza was turned into a Spanish Fly of sorts in mid-air by Grimes.
Mendoza was launched spine first into the corner, then placed in an armbar. Grimes prevented him from getting to his feet by applying some heavy pressure to the shoulder. Mendoza did manage to break free and rolled Grimes up with a crucifix pinfall. Grimes broke out, rocking Mendoza with a strong shot to the jaw.
An arm tied chin lock left Mendoza in the middle of the ring attempting to get to the ropes. He would escape, and deliver a vicious running step up enziguri, leaving Grimes absolutely stunned on the mat. Mendoza followed up with chops, sending Grimes into the corner.
Another running step-up enziguri in the corner set Grimes up to take a missile dropkick. A third enziguri was stopped with a back elbow from Grimes, but as he moved to the top, a handspring enziguri and a top rope frankensteiner sent Grimes across the mat. Grimes broke out and rolled Mendoza up, and when Mendoza broke out, he was driven into the mat with the double foot stomp.
Results: Cameron Grimes defeated Raul Mendoza via pinfall.
