Report: Why WWE Didn't Immediately Book Jordynne Grace On The Main Roster

Jordynne Grace is set to officially join WWE’s main roster after a whistle-stop tour of NXT, with Grace believed to be heading to main imminently.

Grace joined WWE in early 2025 after officially departing TNA Wrestling, with many at the time expecting the ‘Juggernaut’ to go straight to main after several appearances in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. As to why Grace spent the guts of four months in NXT before her call up, Cory Hays on Twitter/X suggests WWE didn’t want to throw Grace onto the roster so close to WrestleMania season without any concrete creative plans.

It has been suggested that Grace is set to join SmackDown, with Stephanie Vaquer expected to join Raw, with Grace’s full-time run in NXT looking likely to end after just nine matches in a little over three months.

Grace has been one of several high profile signings to WWE’s women’s roster over the past year, with Grace, Vaquer, and Giulia breathing new life into NXT’s women’s division ahead of expected high profile runs on the main roster. Giulia was recently called up alongside former two-time NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez, with the two officially joining the main roster post-WrestleMania 41.
