Lola Vice and Kendal Grey ended their WWE NXT women’s title-contender match in a controversial draw at the Infosys Theater [1].
The outcome leaves the number-one contender for the NXT Women’s Championship unclear heading into the Stand & Deliver event scheduled for April 4, 2026 [1]. This deadlock prevents a definitive challenger from being named to face the current champion, Jacy Jayne [1, 3].
The match took place in New York City at the Infosys Theater within Madison Square Garden [1]. According to reports, the finish occurred when Lola Vice forced Kendal Grey to tap out at the exact moment Grey scored a three-count pinfall on Vice [4].
Bully Ray said the finish was a simultaneous victory for both competitors [4]. He said, "Lola Vice tapped out Kendal Grey at the same time that Grey scored a three‑count pinfall on her" [4].
Ray praised the quality of the bout, noting that the technical level was high. He said, "This women's match was far superior to recent main roster matches" [4].
Despite the praise for the performance, the result remains disputed. Some reports suggest the match was part of a larger struggle for the title, while others maintain the specific contender match ended without a clear winner [3]. The ambiguity of the finish means WWE officials must now determine how to resolve the conflict before the April 4 event [1].
“Lola Vice tapped out Kendal Grey at the same time that Grey scored a three‑count pinfall on her.”
The simultaneous finish creates a narrative cliffhanger for WWE NXT, forcing the promotion to either order a rematch or implement a multi-person match at Stand & Deliver. By utilizing a controversial ending, the company sustains interest in both Vice and Grey while maintaining Jacy Jayne's position as the champion without a confirmed opponent.
