Jordynne Grace wants to be the best wrestler, but she also has her priorities in order.
Grace made her WWE debut as a surprise entrant in the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble match. She officially signed with the company in January 2025 and began appearing on NXT, where most recently, she was involved in a high-profile feud with Jacy Jayne.
Despite coming up short in her NXT Women’s Championship match against Jacy, Jordynne Grace has nothing but praise for the stacked women’s roster in NXT, telling Sports Illustrated’s Zack Heydorn “it’s a little bit harder to stand out” after her incredible run at the top of TNA’s Knockouts division.
“I was used to being on top all the time,” Jordynne said. “I was used to being ‘the face of the company.’ At NXT, there are incredible women everywhere you look. It’s a little bit harder to stand out, but the one thing I will always go back on is I just want to be the best wrestler in the ring. No matter what, I want to have the best match on the show. I always go back to that and it’s never failed me.”
Jordynne Grace explains her reason to sign with WWE
“For me, ultimately, as a woman especially. Historically, we haven’t had the longest careers. Maybe I want to have a kid one day. At some point, no matter who you are, you kind of have to start prioritizing the money and being able to contribute to a 401K and invest in the stock market and all of that real adult stuff. It comes down to, ultimately, six weeks off is great, but I would love to be able to retire one day.” [H/T Fightful]
