Kendal Grey came into her match against Lola Vice as the up-and-coming rookie ready to make a major splash and put the rest of the WWE NXT roster on notice at The Great American Bash.

She stepped into the ring against the NXT women’s champion and hoped that, by the end of Sunday night, she would leave the WWE Performance Center as the new title holder. Grey, donning Kurt Angle-inspired gear, got it done.

Grey and Vice were sprawled out on the mat, attempting to pin one another. Both competitors got their shoulders up at the last second. The two traded forearm shots. Grey ran toward Vice, avoiding the spinning backfist. She used the middle turnbuckle to hit the Shades of Grey on Vice. She then pinned Vice for the victory.

The celebration with WWE women’s speed champion Wren Sinclair and her family began. Grey picked up the NXT Women’s Championship on her third try, dispatching Vice, whose reign as champ came to an end after 85 days.

Grey has only been on the NXT roster since April. She was the WWE Evolve women’s champion for 146 days before she was promoted to NXT. She got her first shot at the NXT Women’s Championship at New Year’s Evil but lost to Jacy Jayne. At Stand & Deliver, she lost in a triple threat to Jayne and Vice, who won the title.

Now, after attempt No. 3, Grey can finally call herself the NXT women’s champion.

Vice is still the AAA mixed tag team champion with Mr. Iguana. She’s appeared on AAA a bunch recently, signaling a possible program in the Mexican promotion coming soon.
