Trevor Lee Recalls the Wednesday Night Wars, Wanted NXT To Beat AEW

During a recent interview with Fightful’s In the Weeds, former WWE Superstar Trevor Lee (aka Cameron Grimes) spoke about the infamous Wednesday Night Wars, when AEW Dynamite went head-to-head against WWE NXT every week. Below are some highlights:

Trevor Lee on the Wednesday Night Wars

“It’s the same as it is even now. Like, it doesn’t matter if it’s a Wednesday Night War, if it’s a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, it doesn’t matter. When Trevor Lee’s on a show, I’m very passionate, right? So, for instance, a couple years ago on those Wednesdays, I was very passionate that I wanted to beat the other brand.”

On How He Now Brings That Same Level of Passion to MLW

“That continues over now into MLW. When I’m going out there, and I’m wrestling for MLW, I had that same passion. I want to be able to show that we can compete against any brand. It doesn’t matter where it’s at. We’re going to be ready to go. That’s the same feelings that we had on those Wednesday nights as well.”

Trevor Lee was ultimately released by WWE in April 2024. He was drafted to the SmackDown roster in the 2023 WWE Draft. However, he only wrestled on TV for the main roster a handful of times before being let go.
