A Women’s Champion announced on tonight’s WWE show that she was medically not cleared to compete in the ring. She was involved in a brutal tag team match last week.
The name being discussed is Kendal Grey. She won the NXT Women’s Championship from Lola Vice in the main event of The Great American Bash 2026. The win marked Grey’s first title victory in WWE’s black-and-silver brand. Last Tuesday, the 25-year-old put her gold on the line against Vice in an Underground match.
Kendal Grey was exhausted in the final stages of the contest. However, Wren Sinclair motivated her to fight through the pain. Grey ultimately applied the armbar submission on Vice, forcing her to tap out.
This week on WWE NXT, a backstage segment featured a doctor checking on Grey. He taped up the champion’s ear, meaning she got hurt in her title match against Vice. The angle was followed by Kali Armstrong calling out Grey. However, she was interrupted by Kelani Jordan.
Kendal Grey and Wren Sinclair arrived with a contract and joined the duo in the ring. During the segment, it was revealed that the NXT Women’s Champion was medically not cleared to compete. However, she handed the contract for a future title shot to Jordan, confirming a match between the two at Heatwave 2026.
Kali Armstrong was displeased with the development, and she initiated a brawl. She took out Grey to make a strong statement and stake her claim to the NXT Women’s Championship. The promo segment also confirmed that Grey will defend her gold against Armstrong if she manages to beat Jordan in their upcoming title match at Heatwave.
Kelani Jordan has been part of WWE NXT since June 2023. Surprisingly, the title match at Heatwave will mark her first televised singles bout for the NXT Women’s Championship. Fans must stay tuned to find out if she can finally achieve her goal and become a world champion.
