Here Is Everything You Need to Know About WWE and TNA’s Latest Partnership After Vince McMahon’s Resignation

A lot has been going on with the WWE right now. Vince McMahon had to resign after finding himself embroiled further in the sexual allegation case. And with Triple H handling all the business now, there seems to have been a major decision that has been made by the COO that fans got to witness tonight.

During the Royal Rumble 2024, PLE on WWE Network and Peacock, American professional wrestler Jordynne Grace made a special appearance in WWE as part of the women’s Royal Rumble. She made her entrance into the ring at No. 5 as the TNA World Knockouts Champion. A large crowd pop followed as Grace was reunited with Naomi, who was her opponent twice in the last two weeks in TNA for the world title. But how did a TNA champ make her entrance at the Royal Rumble? Here’s all about the deal between the WWE and TNA.

The two promotions worked toward etching a better bond

The surprise entrance by Jordynne Grace surprised everyone in the crowd. Following the entrance, Michael Cole’s excitement, and her reunion with Naomi, Grace lasted about twenty minutes in the rumble. However, she failed to eliminate other competitors. And was later eliminated by Bianca Belair. But how did this deal take place and come to fruition? Well, according to a report by Fightful Select, this deal was quite easy to handle.

According to them, the biggest promotion in the world had previously reached out to outside companies before they contacted TNA this past weekend. The appearance of Grace was handled by TNA. She had her physical and blood work done on Monday, and then on Thursday, she flew to Florida to take part in rehearsals. WWE sources said that TNA and Grace were “easy to deal with” during the process.

However, this phenomenon emerged as a one-time thing. It’s because Jordynne Grace has a multi-year deal with TNA Wrestling. Grace has followed in the footsteps of a WWE superstar who, in the 2022 edition, surprised the fans by not only participating in the battle royale but also carrying the World Championship of the Knockouts. WWE surprised the fans by starting a small collaboration with Impact Wrestling (now TNA) for Mickie James to make an appearance in the women’s Royal Rumble, holding the same title that Grace currently holds.
