Kendal Grey injury and NXT Women’s title transition
Overview
The WWE-AAA collaboration continues to generate cross-promotional activity. After Rey Mysterio’s Hall of Fame appearance and the announcement of an animated series, the joint NXT-AAA double-header proceeded as scheduled on 30 August, airing on The CW/Netflix in the U.S. and on YouTube/FOX in Latin America.
On 4 August, Kendal Grey defended the NXT Women’s Championship against Lola Vice in an “Underground” match at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. The ropes-free bout, produced by AJ Styles and Johnny Moss, saw Grey overcome a bleeding-ear injury to force Vice to submit. Following the match, Vice removed her gloves and was embraced by boyfriend Damian Priest. WWE filed a “Vice City” trademark the same night, signaling Vice’s upcoming move to the main roster, likely SmackDown.
However, Grey’s championship reign has since ended. Following a match at Heatwave 2026, Grey was ruled medically unfit to compete after striking an exposed turnbuckle, which caused vertigo and vestibular system disruption. While doctors ruled out a concussion, she remains sidelined indefinitely. Consequently, Kelani Jordan has been recognized as the new NXT Women’s Champion and has accepted a title defense challenge from Jaida Parker.
