Kendal Grey didnt just lose her shot at the NXT Womens Championship at New Years Evilshe also walked away needing dental work after taking a nasty knee to the face from Jacy Jayne.
On January 8, 2026, just two days after the match, Grey took to Twitter, uploading photos of herself in a dental chair. The tweet confirmed that shes undergoing a procedure to fix her teeth following the unintentional hit.
The match, which aired during the first hour of NXT: New Years Evil on January 6, featured Jacy Jayne defending her title against Grey in a hard-hitting bout. Grey held her own early, even wiping out Jaynes factionFallon Henley and Lainey Reidwith a high-risk dive to the outside. But the tide turned when Jayne launched into a cannonball that slammed Grey against the barricade. From there, chaos followed.
Grey nearly won with a submission before Henley interfered. Though she managed to lock in her hold again, Jayne escaped and sealed the deal with her Rolling Encore finisherretaining her championship and apparently knocking a few teeth loose in the process.
Greys not just licking her wounds, thoughshes fired up and ready for payback. The NXT womens division is heating up, and this injury just made things a whole lot more personal.
