Trevor Lee Wanted To Showcase Himself on WWE Main Roster, Frustrated He Didn’t Get The Chance

In an interview with Fightful, Trevor Lee spoke about his brief time on the WWE main roster and his frustration that he was not featured more before his release. Lee competed in WWE as Cameron Grimes, and after a successful run on NXT, was drafted to Smackdown. He was let go this year.

Trevor Lee said: “It definitely is hard, right, because every person I talked to, the top wrestlers and even people in the back liked me and told me that I was good and told me that I had that talent to be able to showcase it. So then it was like, okay, well, if I’m being told that, then let me show that, right. So it was frustrating. You hear all the time, ‘Oh, you’re getting paid. Why don’t you just shut up?’ I thought that could be the case when I was poor, I thought that could be the case. But at the end of the day, I’m just, if you want to use the word mark, at the end of the day, I’m the biggest mark. I got into this business because I loved it and I wanted to do it. I didn’t want to just get paid to do it. I want to do it. So yeah, it did frustrate me.“
