Kendal Grey has captured the WWE NXT Women's Championship, defeating Lola Vice at The Great American Bash event. The victory marks Grey's first NXT Women's Championship title and concludes Vice's reign at 85 days.
Grey secured the win on her third attempt at the championship. She previously challenged for the title at New Year's Evil, losing to Jacy Jayne, and again at Stand & Deliver in a triple threat match that included Vice, who ultimately won the championship. Grey joined the NXT roster in April after holding the WWE Evolve women's championship for 146 days.
The Championship Match
During the match at The Great American Bash, both Grey and Vice demonstrated resilience, kicking out of pin attempts. The competitors exchanged forearm strikes before Grey executed a move off the turnbuckle, described as Shades of Grey, to pin Vice and claim the championship. Following the victory, Grey celebrated with WWE Women's Speed Champion Wren Sinclair and her family.
Current Status of Competitors
While Grey celebrates her championship win, Lola Vice retains her AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship, which she holds with Mr. Iguana. Vice's recent appearances in AAA suggest a potential upcoming program in the Mexican promotion.
Grey will now look ahead to potential challengers for her newly won NXT Women's Championship. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has previously commented on the potential of rising prospects like Kendal Grey and Kali Armstrong.
