Folks, it’s official. Wrestling has transcended reality, time, space, and apparently corporate boundaries. Jordynne Grace, the TNA Knockouts Champion and certified powerhouse, is taking her title, her talents, and her traps to WWE’s “NXT” for an open challenge. Yes, you read that right. The WWE and TNA crossover you never knew you wanted is happening, and it’s going down on the September 10 episode of “NXT.”
And why, you ask? Well, the good people at USA Network have labeled next week “WWE Week,” because apparently, airing three wrestling shows in one week is an event worthy of its own holiday. Move over Christmas, WWE Week is coming through with body slams and title defenses! With “Raw,” “SmackDown,” and “NXT” all huddling together under the USA Network banner for the week, Grace decided to up the ante. She posted a video on X (formerly Twitter, but still Twitter in our hearts), and let me tell you, she’s not just here to pump iron. She’s here to make history.
“Next week is a big week for wrestling,” Grace declared, likely while curling a truck tire with one arm. “It’s WWE Week on the USA Network… But I have something that’s going to make it an even better week. A historic week.” She then proceeded to drop the bombshell: she’s defending her TNA Knockouts Championship on “NXT” in an open challenge. That’s right, she’s not even waiting to be challenged. She’s just walking into the “NXT” locker room and saying, “Who’s next?” like a boss. Talk about confidence.
This isn’t the first time Grace has strolled into “NXT” like she owns the place. She made her debut there before “NXT Battleground,” even challenging Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship. And while she didn’t quite take home the gold, she didn’t leave empty-handed either—she snagged a win over Stevie Turner on the way. She’s also been keeping herself busy back in TNA, where she defended her Knockouts title against Tatum Paxley and Izzi Dame like they were speed bumps on her championship journey.
Now, Grace is returning to “NXT,” looking for more challengers, more competition, and probably more people to crush like those apples she definitely snaps in half with her bare hands for breakfast. The “NXT” locker room is full of fresh, hungry talent just itching to step into the ring with Grace. But honestly, it’s going to be a challenge to find someone who can stand toe-to-toe with her. I mean, have you seen her biceps? They could probably win championships on their own.
Will anyone from the “NXT” roster be brave enough—or wild enough—to accept her challenge? And more importantly, will they survive it? One thing’s for sure: WWE Week just got a whole lot more interesting, folks. And if you’ve ever wanted to see worlds collide like a Marvel crossover event, then this is your moment. Just make sure you’re watching, or you’ll have to explain to everyone at work how you missed wrestling history because you were too busy watching reruns of Friends. Don’t be that person.
