Cameron Grimes walking promo, he proved Lumis is a normal man, and Grimes is  going to the moon

Cameron Grimes vs. Dexter Lumis Blindfold match

Grimes doesn’t want to look Lumis in the eyes, insists he puts the blindfold on, Lumis does, Grimes doesn’t want to “I can’t see!” he finally does, LUNGES at Lumis, hits nothing. He flails about as Lumis does nothing.

Grimes takes a swing at the ref as Lumis slowly stalks about, Grimes backs up into the ref, thinks it’s Lumis, he attacks. Takes his hood off, freaks out, tries to shush the audience, goes for a cave in, Lumis evades, punches Grimes, who accidentally pulls the hood off and goes off on Grimes.

Lumis throws Grimes over the barricade, Grimes runs away, that’s the end?
