Kendal Grey remains sidelined from WWE NXT due to vertigo
WWE NXT performer Kendal Grey remains sidelined from in-ring competition following a medical update on September 15, 2026. Grey, the former NXT Women’s Champion, has not been cleared to return to the ring due to ongoing health issues.
Medical staff have ruled out a concussion resulting from the injury sustained during her championship defense against Kelani Jordan at the Heatwave event on August 30. Instead, Grey has been diagnosed with vertigo, a vestibular system disruption that affects balance and causes dizziness.
During a recent medical update, a doctor noted that Grey’s recovery has been prolonged by additional physical trauma and recommended she consult a sports psychologist to address her mental health and anxiety regarding her return. NXT General Manager Robert Stone previously indicated that Grey is managing multiple recovery issues, making her return timeline uncertain.
