Kurt Angle Praises Kendal Grey, ‘There Is Only One Kendal Grey’

Kendal Grey has often drawn comparisons to Kurt Angle given her background, style, and rise in WWE. At NXT Great American Bash, she paid tribute to Angle by wearing a split blue and white gear.

On social media, Kurt Angle reacted to Kendal’s tribute.

“Witnessing the rise of the next generation is nothing short of incredible! I couldn’t be prouder to see Kendal Grey rocking my gear and claiming her throne as the new NXT Woman’s Champion! 🏆@kendalgreywwe relentless dedication embodies everything we represent in this industry. There’s only one Kendal Grey, and I can’t wait to see her conquer new heights. But…… just a heads up, in 8 years, you might want to watch your back, Kendal. There’s another Angle eager to step into that ring, and she’s got her eyes on you! @kendalgreywwe #itstrue,” he wrote.
