WWE NXT star Kendal Grey joins TMZ's Inside The Ring ahead of NXT's Great American Bash to discuss her rapid rise through WWE, her upcoming NXT Women's Championship match against Lola Vice, being compared to WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, and her journey from collegiate wrestling standout to one of WWE's fastest-rising stars.
Grey opens up about the pressure that comes with lofty expectations, reflects on her breakout performance in the Iron Survivor Challenge, explains how her amateur wrestling background prepared her for WWE, and shares why she views pressure as a privilege as she continues climbing the ranks in NXT.
The reigning Evolve Women's Champion also discusses dream matches against Liv Morgan and Jaida Parker, developing her character and social media presence, learning the entertainment side of professional wrestling, being labeled the "female Kurt Angle," and much more.
