Jordynne Grace Talks Signing With WWE, Jonathan Gresham, TNA Contract, Locker Room, Plus More
Jordynne Grace finished up with TNA Wrestling after the company’s TNA Genesis PPV on January 19th. The locker room celebrated her accomplishments after the show was over.
Grace recently signed with WWE, as reported by Fightful Select.
During Jordynne Grace’s interview with Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast – which was recorded a few weeks ago – Grace talked about how it all went down, including: Scott D’Amore’s departure, being let out her contract early, her time in TNA, plus more.
“He [Scott] was awesome. During my time there, he was the best to me. Then, he left. Not willingly, but he did leave. I think it was a shock to everyone. The good thing is, I think everything is going to work out. I feel like Scott is going to land somewhere and he’s going to help a company very much. I don’t know 100%, I just have a feeling.
“When he left, I was very emotional when he left, like a lot of people. It was so out of the blue. We found out on a Zoom call. It was very corporate, which isn’t necessairly a bad thing, but at the time, I was like, I only really signed here because I had faith in Scott that he was going to do good things for me and the company. He is the one that kind of set in motion the whole rebirth of TNA. I told them I wanted my contract to be cut, basically. It was supposed to be until October of this year, and I was like, ‘I want to get out in January’ of this year. Kudos to them, they heard me and let me, I’m very lucky for that. Probably, I’d still be at TNA. It’s a testament to them as a company hearing a talent say, ‘I’m not happy, I want this.’ I feel lucky in that regard.”

Back in February of 2024, TNA’s parent company – Anthem Sports & Entertainment – announced that D’Amore’s contract was terminated. He would no longer be the President of TNA Wrestling.
Jordynne Grace is a former three-time TNA (IMPACT) Knockouts World Champion, and one of the longest reigning champions of all time. She’s had matches with the likes of former WWE talent such as Trinity (Fatu) – (Naomi in WWE) – and Mickie James – as well as current AEW and former TNA talent Deonna Purrazzo.
Grace was asked what’s next for her husband, Jonathan Gresham. Gresham is now currently and officially a free agent, according to his wife Jordynne Grace.
“I don’t think either of us know, actually, his contract [is up]. He has a few conversations to have, and probably by the time this interview comes out, everyone will know what’s going on with him, too.”

Jonathan’s last match with the company as teaming with Steve Maclin & Eric Young to take on those pesky System members Eddie Edwards, JDC, and Brian Myers.
Fightful Select had previously reported that Gresham’s contract with TNA Wrestling was set to expire in early 2025, aligning with the approximate contract expiration of his wife, Jordynne Grace.
Jordynne is expected in to make her official
WWE debut this Sunday in the Royal Rumble after signing with the company recently.
Jonathan Gresham’s next place have not been made public yet, but we’ll keep an eye out for tjay reveal as well.
