The wrestling world was set ablaze at the Royal Rumble with the surprise arrival of Jordynne Grace, and now, details are emerging about her WWE future. The former TNA Knockouts World Champion made a thunderous impact in the Women's Royal Rumble match, and it's now confirmed – she's officially a WWE Superstar.
While fans eagerly await her next move, a new report from Fightful Select (via Sean Ross Sapp) has shed light on the specifics of Jordynne Grace's WWE contract, and it's exciting news for fans of "Thick Mama Pump".
According to Fightful Select, Grace has inked a five-year deal with WWE, securing her place with the company through 2029. This long-term commitment signals WWE's serious investment in the powerhouse wrestler and their belief in her potential.
For those wondering where Grace will initially land, the report indicates she's slated to begin her WWE journey in NXT. While some might expect a direct jump to the main roster after her established career and Royal Rumble appearance, this NXT assignment is likely strategic.
It provides Grace with the opportunity to acclimate to the WWE system, work with the Performance Center coaches, and potentially hone her skills within the WWE ecosystem before a full main roster debut.
However, don't expect to see Grace dominating the NXT women's division for too long. Sources within WWE have reportedly told Fightful that Grace's contract is actually a main-roster level deal. This suggests that her time in NXT is viewed as a transitional phase, and the company has big plans for her on Raw or SmackDown in the near future. This fast-track approach speaks volumes about WWE's confidence in Grace's abilities and star power.
Adding another layer of positivity to this signing, the report also confirms that Jordynne Grace retains the rights to her name and her iconic theme song. This is a significant win for Grace and her fans, ensuring that her established persona and identity are maintained as she transitions to WWE.
Meanwhile, across the wrestling landscape, TNA reportedly made a strong effort to retain Grace. Sources indicate they were keen on re-signing the three-time Knockouts Champion, but ultimately understood that the allure of WWE and the opportunities it presented were likely too strong to overcome.
Jordynne Grace's arrival in WWE is a major coup for the company and a thrilling development for the women's division. Her blend of power, athleticism, and charisma makes her a unique and exciting addition to the roster. Whether she quickly ascends to the main roster or spends some time making waves in NXT, one thing is clear: Jordynne Grace is poised to make a significant impact in WWE for years to come. The wrestling world is watching, and we can't wait to see what "Thick Mama Pump" does next.
