Bully Ray hails Kendal Grey as future of WWE
Kendal Grey has been a much talked about NXT star given her amateur wrestling background and similarities to Kurt Angle. She defended the NXT Women’s Championship against Natalya on the July 7 edition of the weekly program and garnered praise from Bully Ray for her performance.
On the latest edition of the Busted Open Radio Podcast, Ray hyped Grey’s in-ring capabilities on NXT particularly her match against Natalya.
“As many Guinness Book of World Records, championships she (Natalya) has, as many accolades as she has, she’s got a book, she’s got her own segment here on Busted Open. She lost tonight. She lost to the future of women’s wrestling. And if you don’t think Kendal Grey is the future, you’re wrong.”
“I liked the match. I thought it was a good match. I thought it was what it needed to be for TV tonight. I know that Kendal is a former Evolve Champion. I know that she’s currently the NXT Women’s Champion, but I would venture to say that tonight was the biggest win of Kendal grey’s career.”
“She beat Nattie Neidhart. She beat Nattie, she didn’t beat Natalya. She beat Nattie. She beat the version of Nattie that Nattie is most proud of these days. She beat the version of Nattie that’s been kicking chicks’ a** left and right. She beat the Nattie that defeated Jaida Parker. She beat the Nattie that prides herself on humbling women.”
“It’s a big win for Kendal, something that she can pound her chest and stand proud about… I see tremendous potential in this woman.”
Grey was a part of WWE’s NIL Program and competed on Evolve before transitioning to the NXT brand. She defeated Lola Vice at the Great American Bash to capture the Women’s Title.
