The revelation of Grace as Perez’s opponent has already generated significant buzz and excitement among the wrestling community. Fans are eagerly looking forward to the showdown between these two talented competitors.
According to Fightful Select, Grace’s involvement in NXT is part of a contractual arrangement guaranteeing her at least three appearances. This deal includes her recent surprise appearance, as well as two additional matches that have been previously advertised (she will face Stevie Turner on next week’s episode).
Notably, Grace is being well-compensated for her NXT stint, with her earnings reportedly reaching 6 figures!
In addition to her in-ring activities, Jordynne Grace is making the most of her NXT exposure by launching a new t-shirt, adding to the excitement surrounding her crossover. As fans gear up for her match at NXT Battleground, there is speculation about whether this short run could potentially lead to a more extended tenure with NXT in the future.
