Kendal Grey Credits Julius Creed For Putting Idea In Her Mind To Join WWE
The two talents have collegiate wrestling ties.
Coming up for WWE’s NXT brand is the New Year’s Evil special on January 6th. One of the matches on the marquee is Kendal Grey challenging Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women’s Championship.
Grey is making the media rounds, and one of her stops was chatting with Rick Ucchino of The Takedown on Sports Illustrated. During the conversation, Grey explained how fellow WWE talent Julius Creed put the idea in her mind to consider WWE as an option.
“We stayed in contact through wrestling… And I remember after my second national title, he reached out one day saying congrats. Then he was like, ‘After you’re done, WWE next?’ And I thought he was joking.
I do give credit to him because what I’ve noticed, not so much now, but with N.I.L. sponsorships, they usually look for NCAA athletes and women’s wrestling wasn’t NCAA. And women’s wrestling, most people don’t even know it is a thing. So, I don’t even know if I would’ve had this opportunity if it wasn’t for him.”
Grey is also the reigning EVOLVE Women’s Champion.
There is going to be coverage here on Fightful of the taped 12/30 episode of WWE NXT.
