Summary

Kendal Grey already has a clear picture of the kind of WrestleMania stage she wants to reach.

While speaking on the Mark Hoke Show, Grey was asked which WWE names she could picture standing across from her in a future WrestleMania main event. She named Rhea Ripley, Sol Ruca and Roxanne Perez as three opponents she would love to meet in that setting.

Grey said Ripley was an immediate choice, then pointed to Sol Ruca as someone she wants to face one-on-one after sharing tag matches with her. She also praised Perez, noting that the two are around the same age and saying she believes they could put together a strong match.

Quote from Kendal Grey

"There’s so many. There’s literally so many people I could say. I feel like it changes all the time. Not changes all the time, but there’s just more people added to the list. If I had to name a few, can I name a few? A few would be Rhea Ripley for sure. I think Sol Ruca and I could… I would love to have a singles match with her. We’ve had some tag matches against each other, but I would love to get in the ring with her, and I think we could do some really, really cool stuff, and then probably Roxanne Perez. She is awesome. She’s, you know, she’s awesome, and we’re both around the same age, so it’s-, I just think it’s, I don’t know, she’s awesome. She’s great at what she does, so I think we could definitely put on a good match."

What Grey's WrestleMania list says about her NXT ambitions

Kendal Grey naming Rhea Ripley, Sol Ruca and Roxanne Perez puts her focus squarely on the highest level of WWE's women's division, and it shows how quickly she is thinking beyond simply settling into NXT.

Ripley represents the established main-event standard, while Sol Ruca and Perez are opponents Grey can realistically cross paths with sooner as her in-ring role grows. With WrestleMania 42's main event fallout still unfolding, Grey using that stage as her reference point is another sign that she sees herself chasing a much bigger spot than a developmental roster role.

The Sol Ruca mention also stands out because Grey tied it to matches they have already had in tag action. That gives her comments a little more weight than a random dream match list, because she singled out a pairing she believes could translate into a notable singles program if WWE decides to move in that direction.
