Backstage News on Jordynne Grace's Return to IMPACT Wrestling
Jordynne Grace is coming back to IMPACT Wrestling, and will enjoy a significant pay rise as part of her upcoming run with the company.
It was confirmed at IMPACT Emergence that the former Knockouts Champion will be returning to the company after taking the summer off following her contract expiring. Fightful Select reports that Grace has signed a two-year deal with IMPACT, and that she has received a "significant raise" as part of her new deal.
Grace will also be allowed time off for bodybuilding competitions. The 27-year-old wrestler has also competed in powerlifting competitions and holds the World Natural Powerlifting Federation (WNPF) Georgia State and National Records holder in the squat at 320 lb (150 kg), the bench press at 210 lb (95 kg) and the deadlift at 355 lb (161 kg) in the 165 lb. weight class.
Grace signed with IMPACT Wrestling in October 2018, and would make her debut the following month with a victory over Katarina. In 2020, Grace would capture her first of two Impact Knockouts Championships, and would capture the IMPACT Knockouts Tag Team Championships (with Rachel Ellering) in May 2021. That reign would be short-lived, ending eight days later at Under Siege.
Undeterred, Grace would set her sights on the newly-created IMPACT Digital Media Championship, and would become the first holder of the title by winning an intergender six-way match at Bound for Glory 2021. Her reign would end 90 days later at the hands of Matt Cardona.
