Jordynne Grace becomes free agent as Impact Wrestling contract expires
Former Impact Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace has become a free agent, first reported by Fightful.
Grace was unsuccessful in her challenge of current champion Deonna Purrazzo at Friday’s Impact Under Siege and thus was ineligible to face Purrazzo again as long as she was champion.
Fightful reported that Grace’s deal expired this month and that she is going to take some time away from wrestling to work on outside projects. In April, she took first place in several categories in her first bodybuilding competition and has also become a millionaire through her OnlyFans page.
The 27-year-old both debuted for the company and signed her first deal there in 2018, followed by her signing a multi-year extension in 2021.
She departs as a two-time Knockouts Champion, first holding the title during the height of the pandemic era of wrestling in 2020 and then again in the second half of 2022 before losing it to Mickie James in a title vs. career match at this past January’s Hard to Kill.
She was also a Knockouts Tag Team Champion with Rachael Ellering and Impact’s first Digital Media titleholder.
