Kendal Grey has been announced as out of action on WWE NXT due to vertigo. The move comes after Grey began experiencing equilibrium problems following her NXT Women’s Championship defense against Lola Vice on NXT Underground (Aug. 4), and she later suffered an exposed turnbuckle incident in her loss to Kelani Jordan at NXT Heatwave. No return date has been provided, and Grey’s 63-day title reign concluded with the defeat to Jordan.
WWE NXT introduced the NXT Underground concept, similar to Raw Underground, featuring a no ropes environment for a more realistic feel. Josh Barnett, associated with the Bloodsport brand, criticized it as a knock-off. Gable Steveson, an Olympic gold medalist, showcased his suplex skills after a match. Steveson's involvement in NXT Underground aligns with reports of him adapting well to sports entertainment while pursuing NCAA competition and Olympic qualification.
