Great American Bash main event ends with a clean title change
Summary
– Kendal Grey defeated Lola Vice to win the NXT Women’s Championship at Great American Bash
– Grey earned her title shot after weeks of chaos around the women’s division
– The main event ended with Grey scoring a clean pinfall to become champion
Kendal Grey closed Great American Bash with the biggest win of her NXT career.
The premium live event took place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, where Lola Vice defended the NXT Women’s Championship against Grey in the main event. After weeks of tension across the division, Grey finally got her shot at the top title.
Grey entered with momentum on her side. Her WrenQCC partner had already retained the Women’s WWE Speed Title against Ariana Grace earlier in the night, giving the group another reason to feel confident.
The path to the title match started with a chaotic ringside incident. Vice and Izzi Dame brawled near the ring during Grey’s match with Kelani Jordan and accidentally took out an injured Wren Sinclair.
That situation created a dispute over who deserved the next championship opportunity. Vice first defended against Dame and kept the title, but Grey refused to be pushed aside.
Grey officially became number one contender by defeating Jordan on the June 9 episode of NXT. That victory sent her to Great American Bash with a chance to change the division.
Vice controlled parts of the match early after both women tested each other. The action continued through the commercial break as the champion tried to slow Grey down.
The match eventually spilled around ringside. Grey hit Shades of Grey on the floor, but she could not get the victory there.
Back inside the ring, Vice fought back with a chokehold and was later locked in a guillotine. Grey had to survive several dangerous moments as the champion tried to force a tapout.
Vice also landed a hard kick for a close near-fall. Both women were later left down after big back elbows, creating a brief scare where a double pinfall looked possible.
Grey found the final opening and made it count. She scored the clean pinfall over Vice to become the new NXT Women’s Champion.
Great American Bash ended with a major shift in NXT’s women’s division. Lola Vice’s reign is over, and Kendal Grey now stands at the top of the brand.
