More details on TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace and her surprise appearance on last night’s WWE NXT.

As noted, the Juggernaut showed up to answer NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez, who she will be facing at the upcoming NXT Battleground premium live event. Today, Fightful Select has released further details on how the appearance came together.

According to the report, Grace was hidden away (along with former AEW star Ethan Page who also debuted) ahead of yesterday’s NXT episode from the WWE Performance Center. Perez was said to be legitimately surprised as she truly had no idea who she was facing at Battleground, and wanted her opponent to be kept a secret. WWE Hall of Famer Lita’s theme music was used during rehearsals to mask who was showing up.

The match between Grace and Perez is part of an agreement between NXT and TNA that will see Grace make at least three appearances for the yellow-and-black brand. Grace is said to be making roughly six-figures for her time.

The report also notes that the door for NXT and TNA talents to work with each other is wide open. Many assumed that the door would be closed once Scott D’Amore was let go from TNA as he was the one who negotiated using Grace in the Royal Rumble earlier this year. However, lines of communication have remained open.​

That's super cool that they even hid it from Roxanne. 6 figures for the appearances aswell, damn.​

Thank god it wasn’t actually Lita

 

[Deezy]

Giving her close to or even more than what she makes full time for 3 appearances should be considered tampering

6 figures. Good for Jordynne

“I’ve been very public about being a fan of Jordynne Grace. I expressed to Hunter privately that I was very jealous that he had her for the Rumble. And he owed me one, he owed me a big one,” Michaels said.

“We’re thrilled to have her for Battleground and we’re thrilled to have her next week.”

Anything been said anywhere about when her TNA deal runs until?

 

[Chris]

I think she signed a new one last year after some speculation she was leaving. TNA ones are normally only like 1 or 2 years but last year they were locking people down longer so I can't really say

 

[Apoho Creed]

Making 6 Figures too damn what a deal with Grace. I'm pretty sure Grace put up a Clip of her being hidden away man she could feel the anxiety she was going through I imagine as she thought I gotta hit this Home Run with this Segment.

 

[Deezy]

100k just for a few shows is gnarly manson........if true.

Get your bag.......these surprises are better than the pizza rolling guy atleast.

 

[Cwalker]

Depending on exactly how many appearances Grace is going to make, I would recommend actually putting the belt on her.

The article says “at least three appearances” but let’s say they come to an agreement for 6 or 8 appearances, I wouldn’t be mad at her being Champion for a little while.

They can call Roxanne up afterwards and have Grace run with the belt and drop it to Lola

Whoever moved everything from the NXT thread (this is worse as it’s actually part of the show) looks silly moving this here, since this guy hasn’t been in TNA forever.

I feel like TNA is gonna benefit from this more than they did the relationship with AEW, for the simple fact that none of the TNA guys really did anything unless you were in a Kenny Omega angle.

Nothing has been moved into here.
