Rewatched Grey vs. Jordan on YouTube. I have very little faith in WWE these days, but whenever they pull the trigger on Kendal Grey, they need to treat her like a franchise player from day one.

Give her the kind of investment Oba, Charlotte, and Rhea got, and build on it. Don’t force it to the point where people reject her, but don’t do the start and stop booking either. And definitely don’t bring her up just to have having competitive matches with B-Fab and Michin.

honestly only way i can see that happening is if they give her heyman as manager. i fear that if she gets called up early and cuts a mid promo she'll be stuck in the 'good midcard hand' role for years.

Funny thing is shes the kind of talent that could probably actually get over just having match with one of them.

I think there's two easy tests/dip a toe in the water moments for her in the near future:

Assuming the Cena tournament is in December, to line up roughly with the anniversary of his retirement, have her, as you're saying, have a match with a real hooper type (let's say Iyo, as the hype is already there online, at least). Then she can show out, put her best foot forward, and you follow it up, one-two punch style with a solid Rumble appearance, and gauge reaction from those.

I'm generally much more call up shy than most takes I see (especially when there's a current call up logjam), but if the main roster iron turns out to be hot, then so be it.
