Jordynne Grace Makes Big WWE Promise
Jordynne Grace has some fighting words for Roxanne Perez.
At NXT Battleground, Jordynne Grace will challenge Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Title despite being TNA Knockouts Champion. As talk of an expanded working relationship between the two promotions continues, Grace is looking to shock the world and become a double champion.
In a promo segment on the June 6th episode of TNA iMPACT! Grace sent a warning to her new rival and the entire wrestling world. The star said that what began with her surprise appearance in the Royal Rumble, ends with her defeating Perez.
Grace vowed that when all is said and done, the WWE Universe will remember her forever.
“I’ve been patient. I’ve always done everything asked of me without complaining. I’ve made the most of every opportunity given to me. I wrestled through injuries. I’ve cheered my colleagues on when they got spots that I wanted. It’s my turn now,” she said.
“All eyes are on me, and I’m ready to flip the wrestling rod on its head. It started at the Royal Rumble, continued with Stevie Turner, and will end when I’m holding the NXT Women’s Championship and the TNA Knockouts Championship over my head at the UFC Apex arena.
“Whether people see it or not, Roxanne Perez and I are two sides of the same coin. She is a prodigy. She started wrestling when she was 14 years old. But you know, the funny thing is, so did I. The only real difference between Roxanne Perez and I is the paths that we chose to take, the companies that we decided to work for.
On June 9, at Battleground, those paths cross. I am the catalyst of change. This is a whole new world and I’m the one leading the charge. When I become a dual champion at Battleground, not only will the TNA audience remember me forever, but so will the WWE Universe.”
Jordynne Grace Gives Shawn Michaels Strange Gift
Following her win over Stevie Turner on the latest episode of NXT, Jordynne Grace posed with Shawn Michaels in a photo on social media. But this wasn’t just any photo. The NXT boss was wearing a very special “Chef Michaels” hat given to him by Grace as he continues to get things cooking on WWE’s third brand.
Elsewhere at Battleground, Trick Williams will defend the NXT Championship against Ethan Page.
