WWE confirmed during the closing segment of WWE NXT New Year’s Evil that Jordynne Grace has officially joined the main roster.
In a backstage announcement following the NXT New Year’s Evil main event, NXT General Manager Ava informed a group of wrestlers that several names were moving up from developmental to WWE’s primary brands. Lash Legend, Je’Von Evans, and Trick Williams were included in the group, following recent reports and appearances that suggested their promotions were imminent.
Ava then revealed Grace as an additional call-up, confirming her transition after a year on NXT. Grace recently appeared on SmackDown and has already crossed paths with Chelsea Green and WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill, signalling immediate marquee competition ahead.
Evans will be joining Raw, while Trick Williams and Lash Legend are headed to SmackDown. WWE did not specify which brand Grace will join, although her recent involvement on SmackDown suggests she may remain aligned with the blue brand.
Grace’s move formally ends her run in NXT and begins her full-time tenure on WWE’s main roster.
How Long Has Jordynne Grace Been With WWE?
Jordynne Grace has been officially with WWE for close to a year, after she signed her contract on January 27, 2025. Grace made her first appearance in WWE as an officially signed star in the 2025 Royal Rumble on February 1, entering at number 19 and eliminating Jaida Parker before she was eliminated by Giulia.
Prior to signing with WWE, Grace was signed to TNA Wrestling, but had made numerous appearances in both main roster shows and on NXT as part of WWE and TNA’s ongoing partnership.
