A fun social media exchange between AEW star Andrade El Idolo and WWE NXT talent Kendal Grey has resulted in the veteran luchador giving the rising star a genuine public endorsement. The interaction began when fans clipped Grey using a spinning back elbow — a move associated with Andrade — in one of her matches and tagged him in the post.
Andrade initially asked who Grey was, prompting a fan to respond protectively: “Don’t mess with our Kendal dawg.” Andrade quickly clarified his intentions, responding with warmth and genuine encouragement. “I asked who she was because, honestly, I didn’t know — but now I do, and it’s thanks to you guys! She definitely has a future in this business. Good luck!” he wrote.
Kendal Grey Recently Made Her Permanent Move to the WWE NXT Roster From WWE EVOLVE
Grey is currently in the early stages of establishing herself on the NXT main roster, having recently vacated the WWE EVOLVE Women’s Championship and said her goodbyes to EVOLVE to make the full-time switch. On last week’s NXT, she challenged Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women’s Championship in a title bout, coming up short in the loss. Andrade’s endorsement — however informal — adds another name to the growing list of established wrestlers who see genuine potential in the Florida-based performer as her NXT career continues to develop.
