Kendal Grey has earned the praise of many with her work in WWE NXT, including earning praise from pro-wrestling veteran journalist Dave Meltzer.
Earlier this year, Meltzer noted that Grey was “gonna be the best woman wrestler this country has ever produced,” after her match against Lola Vice on NXT.
On a recent edition of TMZ’s “Inside the Ropes” podcast, Grey was asked about the comments and tried not to get too comfortable. She said,
“It didn’t really scare me. I try not to read too much into online and what people are saying, because no matter I do, people are going to say negative things, positive things, so I just try to be me, be authentic to myself, and not read too much into it. I don’t want to get in my head about stuff.
“But at the end of the day, I do want to be the best. I wanna, that’s what I train for. I come in here every single day, get better every single day, take all the information I can, and grow my mind about this business. Ultimately, if that happens, hopefully it happens down the road authentically, but I try not to read too much into it, do what I can, work hard, and if it happens, it happens.”
Grey will be facing Lola Vice for the NXT Women’s Championship at NXT Great American Bash. Vice has held the title since April.
