Robin Lundberg with the Busted Open After Dark podcast. We react to Kendall Gray winning in the underground. Plus, Grayson Waller continues to cook. This is the Busted Open podcast. When Kendall Gray, her head hit the steps on the outside, and she was bleeding pretty profusely from her eardrum. It almost looked like the opposite ear of the one that hit the steps. I'm not sure exactly what happened there. You're obviously always concerned with, like, a ruptured or torn eardrum or something to that effect. But, you know, whatever they say, just... put some tossing on it or whatever. I mean, she put a gauze around her head and got right to work. That's impressive, because I'm sitting there going, you know, like, is she okay?
Is she all right? Especially in a match that physical, obviously, in a setting that physical, you know, going back to their backgrounds in mixed martial arts and the like, and obviously their history with one another. But Kendall Gray is able to withstand that head to the stairs, is able to persevere through bleeding from her ear, is able to gauze herself up and get back into the action.
How did Kendal Gray win the NXT Underground title and what happened when she bled from her ear?
And you hear it there. They continue going on. The ref is taken out. Ren Sinclair gets involved. But Kendall Gray eventually makes Lola Weiss tap out in the underground. And that is one of those things, you know, you build your legend up a little bit. When you're able to do what Kendall Gray did there, they also embraced, after the match, a hug. And Lola Weiss holds Kendall Gray's hand up in victory, getting that respect, giving that respect. Could that mean perhaps a call-up to the main roster? For Lola Weiss, that might be something that is in her future after a move like that. We shall see, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see Lola Weiss on the main roster sooner rather than later. But the main event there was Kendall Gray keeping that championship, was Kendall Gray fighting through whatever injury that was.
and was Kendall Gray making Lola Weiss tap out? 877-344-4893. What did you make of the main event? 877-344-4893. A pretty jam-packed show overall as well. Keanu Carver? And Prosper, they had a really good match. That was one of my favorite parts of the show, EK Prosper and Keanu Carver. And that one ended in a little bit of a surprise. I wasn't expecting a small package to finish that, especially from Carver. There were some really interesting spots in that match. I love the... pop-up German suplex that Carver did. I don't know how often I've seen that before. That was a hell of a move and a very, very entertaining match back and forth. Those are two guys that you sort of see being elevated within NXT right now.
They've been getting a lot of shine and a lot of love. And then you had the men's side of things, the main event side of things, that is the title picture of Threaded throughout the show, really. But there was the big promo battle with Cruz Montana and Tony D'Angelo and Grayson Waller. And it sets up a Montana and Waller match as a number one contender match for next week, I believe, on NXT. And that is... They've really, really... jump those guys right to the front of the line and right into the main event scene, rightfully so, right into the title scene, rightfully so, immediately. I was on with you after dark when Montana made his debut before we knew that was his name on the show. And I said they needed something on that men's side.
You know, the women's, the ladies had been carrying NXT and with the call-ups of Obafemi and Javon Evans and Trick Williams, It had felt like a little bit of star power was lacking on the men's side of things. No longer, no longer. And Cruz Montana is right there in that title picture. But you know who else is right there in that title picture? Grayson Waller. Grayson Waller immediately became the MVP of NXT. The second he picked up that microphone and cut that promo last week, he was the MVP of NXT. He is the single biggest reason, I think, to tune into the program right now because you're waiting to hear what he's going to say.
