A new report sheds light on Jordynne Grace‘s new WWE contract.
For months, rumors swirled that the former Knockouts Champion was headed to WWE when her contract with TNA expired. Sure enough, Jordynne Grace officially signed a multi-year contract with WWE shortly after her TNA exit.
Despite trying to shift suspicion by saying she would be in Austin, TX, Jordynne Grace made a surprise appearance in the 2025 Royal Rumble on February 1st, marking her official WWE debut after signing with the company.
A new report from Fightful Select sheds more light on Grace’s contract, revealing that she signed a five year deal that will see her with the company through late 2029. The report notes that she is expected to work in NXT in the immediate future, but that she’s signed a main roster level deal and isn’t expected to stay in NXT for long.
According to the report, Jordynne Grace retains the rights to both her name and entrance music after signing with WWE.
Why Did Jordynne Grace Leave TNA?
Speaking in a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Jordynne Grace opened up about her exit from TNA, saying that she was ready to take on new challenges after an incredible 2024.
“I’ve been at TNA for a very long time, since 2018, and I’ve never let my contract expire before. I’ve always just re-signed. I don’t know if it was just the uncertainty of not knowing what was going to happen next, or I was just scared that no one was going to want me. But I feel like now I’m more confident. I had an amazing 2024 and I think it’s time. I’ve done so much in TNA. I’ve done pretty much all there is to do and I feel like if there was ever a time to move forward, it’ll be right now.”
Continuing, Grace pointed to Scott D’Amore being fired from TNA as a reason she decided to leave the company at this time.
“Well when he left, I was very emotional when he left like a lot of other people, because it was just so out of the blue. We found out on a Zoom call, it was very corporate, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But at the time, I was just like, You know what? I only really signed here because I had faith in Scott that he was gonna do good things for me and good things for the company. He’s the one that kind of set in motion the whole rebirth of TNA and I told them I wanted my contract to be cut, basically.
So it was supposed to be until October of this year, and I was like I want to get out in January of this year. I mean, kudos to them. They heard me and they let me. So I’m very lucky for that. But I think probably I’d still be at TNA.”
Jordynne Grace recently sent a message of thanks to Cody Rhodes for boosting her career back in 2018.
