New WWE Evolve champion crowned
WWE Evolve now has a new Women’s Champion: Kendal Grey.
On Wednesday’s special Succession edition of Evolve on Tubi, Grey defeated inaugural champion Kali Armstrong, ending her 151-day run. The end came when Grey hit a powerslam counter while Armstrong was running the ropes, giving her the victory (seen below).
It’s Grey’s first WWE title reign of any kind.
The match was taped on September 23rd with both women having wrestled several times since then including the 24-year-old Grey unsuccessfully challenging for both the WWE Women’s Speed title and the NXT Women’s North American title on NXT house shows.
The 31-year-old Armstrong first won the gold in late-April in a four-way that also included Grey. She successfully defended the title four times before her loss to Grey.
Grey made her pro debut under the WWE banner in March 2024 and has appeared on the main NXT TV show in addition to TNA Impact and the defunct NXT Level Up.
