Jordynne Grace has claimed that she won’t be in Indianapolis for the Royal Rumble and has posted proof of her plans that weekend.
Following her exit from TNA at the start of the year, fans anticipated that the former Knockouts Champion would be making her return to WWE imminently, this time as a full-time member of the roster. Just over a week later, it was reported that the former TNA star had signed a multi-year deal with WWE, meaning that her next appearance was imminent.
With the Royal Rumble having a history of being the host for surprise appearances such as AJ Styles in 2016 and Jade Cargill in 2024, fans are once again expecting to see Grace make an unannounced appearance in the match. However, responding to the rumours on social media, Grace has posted a ticket for a flight booked to Austin, Texas over Royal Rumble weekend to host her mum’s birthday party:
I’m 100% hosting my mom’s 50th birthday party this weekend 🎂
Love y’all though ♥️ https://t.co/MOL36LT2WBpic.twitter.com/l3PallAuN3

Although Grace’s post effectively denies that she will be a part of the match, fans have pointed out the attempted misdirect and still expect to see The Juggernaut in the Rumble on February 1st.
Jordynne Grace Explains Reason For TNA Departure
Although TNA fans were very familiar with Grace’s work, the former Knockouts Champion was first introduced to WWE fans as a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble match. Following the shock appearance, Grace continued to make surprise appearances on NXT for the rest of the year as part of the ongoing talent exchange and also challenged Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship at Battleground.
