Kendal Grey scripted history at her first WWE Premium Live Event, as she won the 2025 Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge at Deadline 2025 to earn a shot at the NXT Women’s Championship at New Year’s Evil.
Grey and Kelani Jordan started off the 25-minute bout, with the reigning Evolve Women’s Champion earning the first points in the match via pinfall. All five women claimed two points each to turn the contest into a five-way draw as the 25-minute deadline approached. However, in the closing moments of the match, Kendal Grey hit Shades of Grey on Lola Vice to win the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge.
The match was full of high-paced action, with each competitor trying to gain as many points as possible within the 25-minute limit. Jordynne Grace entered at the third spot and earned a couple of points via pinfalls over Kelani Jordan. Lola Vice entered fourth and immediately picked up a point at the expense of Kendal Grey.
As Sol Ruca was about to enter, Kelani Jordan, who had just been pinned by Jordynne Grace, attacked Ruca’s injured leg. However, Sol returned with vengeance, nailing her trademark Sol Snatcher on both Viice and Jordan and pinning them both.
Chaos ensued in the final moments of the match, and Kendal Grey capitalized on it to earn a well-deserved win. She will now challenge Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women’s Championship at New Year’s Evil on January 6, 2026.
The points distribution is as follows:
Kendal Grey- 3
Kelani Jordan- 2
Sol Ruca- 2
Jordynne Grace-2
Lola Vice- 2
