Jordynne Grace might have ruled the Knockouts division in TNA for years, but her time in WWE NXT has been a whole different battle.
The powerhouse wrestler recently sat down with Zack Heydorn of The Takedown on Sports Illustrated to reflect on how much things have changed since joining WWE in early 2025.
In TNA, Grace was nearly unstoppable. She was a three-time Knockouts Champion with a combined 677 days as titleholder. But since jumping to NXT, shes been chasingnot holdinggold.
Grace made her WWE debut in the 2025 Womens Royal Rumble before moving to NXT, where she challenged Jacy Jayne for the NXT Womens Championship at WWE Evolution. That shot ended in heartbreak after Blake Monroe turned on her, costing her the match.
When asked what ultimately convinced her to sign with WWE as a free agent, Grace offered a refreshingly honest perspective about career longevity, finances, and planning for the futureespecially as a woman in wrestling.
Grace has proven she can dominate, but now shes fighting to be seen in a packed division. That fire to be the best hasnt gone anywhereshes just doing it in a new ring.
