The partnership between WWE and TNA has resulted in many exciting crossovers between the two promotions. Most notably, Jordynne Grace has made a name for herself within the WWE Universe. Many fans expect her to join WWE one day. However, it appears that this may be happening sooner than anyone anticipated.
According to Fightful Select, the Knockouts Champion’s contract with TNA was originally set to expire in the summer of 2025. However, she had it amended to expire in January itself. If Jordynne Grace indeed plans to join WWE, she could be doing so within just three months. Her husband and fellow TNA star Jonathan Gresham‘s contract with the company will also expire in 2025.
Grace made her first appearance in WWE at the Royal Rumble 2024. If she is indeed WWE-bound, making her full-time debut at the same show a year later is a highly interesting prospect. Reportedly, she had impressed several WWE higher-ups, including Shawn Michaels and Triple H, whenever she made an appearance for the Stamford-based promotion. They would definitely love to have her on their roster.
Grace also had a short stint in NXT, where she went after the NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez. The TNA superstar challenged for the title at NXT Battleground. However, she was unsuccessful in becoming a double champion after Ash By Elegance cost her the match.
The wrestling world is thrilled to hear that Jordynne Grace could be making her way to WWE very soon
The WWE Universe was elated to hear that there was a chance of Jordynne Grace joining the Stamford-based promotion in just a few months. They immediately started suggesting all the dream matches that she could put on. The name on top of this list was Rhea Ripley.
The two powerhouses could put on an incredible feat at the Showcase of the Immortals. Furthermore, unless The Eradicator’s feud with Liv Morgan continues till April, she does not appear to have any big names slated to go against her at WrestleMania 41.
This news did result in many fans questioning TNA’s decision to partner with WWE in the first place. There is a good chance that Grace and even Joe Hendry, whose contract also expires in 2025, will join WWE. Hence, the promotion will lose its most popular stars in the men’s and women’s division.
A similar incident occurred within the partnership between AEW and NJPW, where Tony Khan eventually ended up signing all the major stars of the Japanese promotion, such as Will Ospreay and Kazuchika Okada.
