Cameron Grimes won the Million Dollar Championship on Sunday night to open NXT TakeOver 36, defeating LA Knight with an assist from Ted DiBiase. The end of the bout saw Grimes lock in the Million Dollar Dream for an extended period of time, only for Knight to escape and attempt to cheat via using the title belt. His attempt was foiled, and he wound up getting locked in the same submission hold by DiBiase outside the ring. The WWE Hall of Famer then tossed Knight back inside, where he walked right into a Cave In from Grimes.
