The primary focal point of the spectacular developmental show centres directly on the rapid ascent of Kendal Grey following her historic championship victory over Lola Vice. NXT General Manager Robert Stone immediately sanctioned this marquee single match after the respected veteran Natalya voiced major frustrations regarding being heavily overlooked by the rising locker room. It represents a classic generational struggle as a hungry champion encounters the ultimate submission specialist inside the squared circle.
