WWE Name Believes TNA Wrestling’s Jordynne Grace ‘Fit Right In’ At The Company

WWE, TNA

NXT commentator Booker T believes that a TNA Wrestling star fits in the WWE system, commenting on their recent surprise appearance at a major event.

One of the major surprises at the 2024 Royal Rumble event was the appearance of TNA Wrestling Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace in the 30 woman Rumble match.

Grace put in an impressive showing, lasting almost 20 minutes and squaring off with many of WWE’s biggest stars in the division including Bianca Belair, Bayley and former TNA rival Naomi.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T commented on Grace’s performance in the match, stating the belief that the 27-year-old looked like she “belonged” in a WWE ring.

Booker said:

“I tell you what, (Jordynne) made her walk to the ring. She looked like she belonged.”

“She looked like she was part of (WWE). Not trying to take anything from TNA, but she fit right in to the system right now. She looked great.”

Booker then recalled working with Grace in his Reality of Wrestling promotion much earlier in her career, with the six-time world champion revealing that he did not even recognise the TNA star at first.

Booker continued:

“I worked with Jordynne Grace before at Reality of Wrestling, but when she came through Reality of Wrestling, she was kind of bigger, kind of chunkier.

“Then she got in shape. Then she got to this version of Jordynne Grace that we see today,”

“I saw her in catering. I was on my way to catering, and she was coming from catering I think. She’s got the blonde hair now, so she looked totally different.

“For a minute (when) she was walking, I go ‘Man, who is this girl?’ Then she came up to me and she go, ‘Hey what’s going on?’ (I responded), ‘Oh man, what’s going on?’ but I did not even recognize her (at first).

“I just thought maybe she was a bodybuilder. I didn’t know.”

Since competing in the Rumble, Grace has done a fair amount of teasing that she may not be done squaring off with WWE stars, potentially even in a TNA ring.

One WWE veteran in particular claimed that they would “jump at the chance” to cross over to TNA for a special inter-promotional match – to read more on this click here.
