Former TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace has officially signed a multi-year contract with WWE according to Fightful Select.
The outlet reported WWE’s offer came weeks before her TNA contract was up (with TNA’s blessing), and that she signed the deal right after her final appearance at this month’s TNA Genesis pay-per-view as WWE didn’t want her to hit free agency.
The eventual signing has felt like a virtual lock given Grace’s appearances on both the main roster and NXT over the last year, and the praise that both Paul Levesque and Shawn Michaels have given her publicly.
It hasn’t been reported yet if she will go to the main roster immediately or NXT.
She made her promotional debut in the 2024 women’s Royal Rumble match as a surprise appearance and then began appearing in NXT this past summer in the early stages of the partnership between WWE and TNA.
Grace competed in four NXT matches last year, defending her then-Knockouts title once against Sol Ruca, and also failing to defeat then-NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez.
Grace was part of TNA since 2018. After signing a multi-year extension in 2021, the 28-year-old hit free agency in May 2023 and took some time off before returning in September 2023. She leaves the company as a three-time Knockouts Champion, one-time Knockouts Tag Team Champion, and one-time Digital Media Champion.
