Jordynne Grace had a brief free agency period recently. The 23-year-old was believed to have signed with Impact in October but it turned out she hadn’t actually signed the contract. According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Impact gave Grace an ultimatum, either sign or not be used any further.
“(Grace) was given an ultimatum to sign or not be used anytime further so she agreed to sign,” wrote Dave Meltzer.
The report continued to say why Grace decided Impact was the best place for her.
“It was noted that there are places she likes going such as Eve in London and Sendai Girls, and with Impact, she gets U.S. exposure, as minimal as that may be, gets a push, builds her name and can work where she wants,” Meltzer continued. “In WWE, they’d probably hire her but she’d be lost in the shuffle and AEW would push her but she may not be able to work other places.”
Jordynne Grace’s Short Free Agency Period
Grace explained her situation recently in an interview with Fightful.
“I was hoping to have some good matches and show that I could follow direction and criticism beforehand, of course. I wanted to renegotiate the original deal once I had shown I had value and worth,” Grace said.
She continued to say that she received offers from multiple companies during her short free agency period.
“I had contact with each of those companies (ROH, WWE, AEW, NWA), and had many options and offers in front of me. At the end of the day, Impact is where I wanted to be. I was ready to make a difficult decision if needed, but I was sincerely hoping everything would work out in the end! I can’t be sure if Double or Nothing had anything to do with it, but it’s a possibility.”
