This was their third match for the title and like their previous bouts both Grimes and Knight put on an incredible performance. They had a few near falls and both of them took their chances to shine. Grimes even got busted open across the bridge of his nose!


The match seemed to be heading to a close when Grimes locked on the Million Dollar Dream. However, Knight managed to break the hold by driving him into a turnbuckle.

Knight tried using the title as a weapon but Grimes kicked him outside the ring. The original Million Dollar Man, Ted Dibiase, then took Knight out with his own Million Dollar Dream. Grimes then nailed the Cave-In for the win.


Dibiase and Grimes celebrated the victory in the middle of the ring after a hard fought victory and what a way to start a show!


Knight won the Million Dollar Championship on June 13 after beating Grimes in a Ladder Match at “Takeover: In Your House”.

He was the innaugral champion of the newly reintroduced title and held it for 69 days.
