"I think it was in June of last year, I had an old boxing injury. Before I ever started wrestling, I was training to take some boxing fights. I was big into boxing for a few years and was training very rigorously, just as rigorously with my wrestling now as I was with boxing. I had a little bit of a labrum tear. Last year, after Heatwave, I had to get my shoulder patched up. I had been wrestling that whole time with a little bit of a wonky shoulder. Now, I am patched up, better than I've ever been. Now, this knife is as sharp as it has ever been. I feel amazing. I feel excited and like I'm moving better than ever. I'm good to go," said Grace.

Grace has been acting the liaison between NXT and TNA on television.
