Jordynne Grace: I Was Used To Being The Face Of The Company, It’s Harder To Stand Out With The Incredible Women In NXT
Jordynne Grace was at the top of the Knockouts mountain in TNA for the better part of her run that began in 2019.
She was a three-time Knockouts Champion, holding the title for a total of 677 days. Since joining NXT in 2025, Grace has challenged for the NXT Women’s Title, but has yet to hold gold.
“I was used to being on top all the time. 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,” Grace told Zack Heydorn of The Takedown on SI.
Grace officially signed with WWE in January 2025, appearing in the women’s Royal Rumble.
Asked what went into the decision to sign with WWE as a free agent, Grace replied, “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.”
Grace challenged Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women’s Title at WWE Evolution, but lost after Blake Monroe betrayed her.
