• TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace made her WWE debut in the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble match, where she lasted 20 minutes before being eliminated by Bianca Belair.
WWE reportedly contacted various companies, including TNA, for surprise entrants in the Royal Rumble matches. Jordynne, who had a medical checkup before the event, successfully participated in Royal Rumble rehearsals on Thursday.
Grace is still under contract with TNA, and her appearance in the Royal Rumble was arranged smoothly.
Here’s what Fightful Select reported:
“We’re told that WWE contacted TNA this past weekend to inquire, and everything went through TNA. Grace is still signed with TNA.
We’re told that Grace had a physical and blood work on Monday, then flew to Florida on Thursday to participate in the Royal Rumble rehearsals.
There were some within TNA who said they heard this was a possibility earlier this month when there were broader WWE/TNA rumors.
Those we spoke to in WWE said both TNA and Jordynne Grace were easy to deal with and accommodating during the process.”
