NXT women’s title chase turns chaotic before contender match
Summary
– Lola Vice accidentally knocked out Kendal Grey during a heated NXT women’s division segment
– Kelani Jordan set up Lola Vice vs Kendal Grey for a number one contender match next week
– The winner will face Kelani Jordan for the NXT Women’s Championship at Great American Bash
Lola Vice and Kendal Grey both wanted a clear path to the NXT Women’s Championship, but their tense confrontation ended with a shocking accidental knockout.
The June 2 episode of NXT featured a heated segment with Lola, Kendal, and Kelani Jordan all tied to the title picture. Lola made it clear that she is done asking for chances and believes she has already done enough to earn a shot.
Lola pointed to her recent wins and said she has already beaten Wren Sinclair twice and Kendal Grey. She also reminded Kelani that she tapped her out before, making her case that one title opportunity is all she needs.
Kendal interrupted and said she has already proven herself as well. She brought up her Iron Survivor win and reminded everyone that she pinned both Kelani and Lola during that match.
Kendal also said she still had unfinished business with Lola, but her issue with Kelani was personal after what happened to her best friend last week. Kelani pushed back, saying Kendal played a role in that situation, too.
The champion then made the decision herself. Kelani announced that Lola Vice and Kendal Grey will face each other next week in a number one contender match.
The winner will move on to challenge Kelani for the NXT Women’s Championship at Great American Bash. That announcement gave the division a clear direction, but the tension did not stop there.
Moments later, Lola threw a spinning backfist that accidentally caught Kendal and knocked her down. The shot was clearly not meant for Kendal, but the damage was done.
The segment ended with confusion and anger as officials and wrestlers reacted to the accidental strike. Lola now has even more pressure heading into next week, while Kendal has a fresh reason to come after her.
