Following a successful title defense over Lash Legend, WWE Evolve Women’s Champion Kendal Grey repeated with one over Fatal Influence’s Lainey Reid on week two of “WWE NXT” Gold Rush.
For this occasion, “NXT” General Manager Ava banned Jacy Jayne and the newly-crowned Women’s Speed Champion Fallon Henley from ringside given Fatal Influence’s interference in the previous’s NXT Women’s Championship match last week in addition to Henley’s Speed match earlier within the show. Grey, alternatively, arrived to her Evolve Women’s Championship defense with Wren Sinclair in her corner. Eventually, all the women, plus Charlie Dempsey, involved themselves on this title match anyway.
As Grey locked Reid in an arm bar, Jayne charged right down to the ring, with Henley also hopping as much as the apron in an try to distract the referee. Sinclair blasted Henley with a right hand, only to then be inadvertently pushed off the apron by Jayne and caught by Dempsey. Grey subsequently kicked Jayne out of the ring, after which the referee ejected all 4 non-competing figures.
Left alone with Reid, Grey realigned her focus and sent them each flying off the highest rope via a German suplex. To cap the motion off, Grey then drove Reid into the mat with a jumping flatliner for the win.
Grey claimed the Women’s Evolve Championship by defeating Kali Armstrong at “WWE Evolve: Succession,” which aired on October 15. In recent months, Grey has also aligned herself with Wren Sinclair, with each of them now officially being recognized as members of No Quarter Catch Crew.
Elsewhere on “NXT” Gold Rush, Men’s Evolve Champion Jackson Drake bested Sean Legacy to retain his respective title. His stays the inaugural champion, having held onto it since April.
