Reason Why WWE Changed Jordynne Grace’s Entrance Music

Jordynne Grace has been making waves since stepping into NXT, but this week, it wasn’t just her dominant win over Lola Vice that had people talking—it was her brand-new entrance music. During Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT, Grace walked out to a fresh theme ahead of her victory in a qualifying match for next week’s NXT Women’s Championship #1 Contender’s Fatal Four-Way. But the WWE Performance Center crowd made it loud and clear: they weren’t feeling the change.

According to Fightful Select, WWE swapped out Grace’s old theme—one she owns the rights to and used during her TNA run and early NXT appearances—for something new due to a couple of key reasons. First, WWE has reportedly doubled down on only using entrance music they fully control from a rights standpoint. Second, Grace’s original theme opened with sirens, which officials felt sounded too much like Raw star Bron Breakker’s entrance—sirens that carry deep roots in wrestling lore thanks to Breakker’s ties to the Steiner family.

Since Breakker’s sound had historical weight and WWE priority, Grace’s music had to be altered.

Fans weren’t shy about voicing their disapproval. “Fire Def Rebel” chants broke out in the PC—Def Rebel being WWE’s in-house music production team responsible for most superstar themes. Grace, to her credit, handled the crowd reaction with trademark humor, later tweeting, “I know what the streets are saying,” before cheekily adding that fans need to “suspend your disbelief and vibe with it.”

One fan responded saying they wouldn’t be vibing, to which Grace clapped back with a playful jab: “Let me know what you’re wearing next week so I can jump the barricade.”

Love it or hate it, the new music isn’t going anywhere for now. Grace will walk out to the updated theme once again next Tuesday when she steps into a high-stakes Fatal Four-Way against Lash Legend, Izzi Dame, and Jaida Parker. The winner earns a shot at NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne at NXT Evolution.

Jordynne Grace Unveils New Entrance Music, Crowd Not Impressed- Chant: “Fire Def Rebel”

Jordynne Grace made waves on this week’s WWE NXT—and not just for her in-ring performance. During her match against Lola Vice, the TNA Knockouts Champion debuted a brand-new entrance theme… but the fans in attendance weren’t exactly feeling it.

As Grace made her entrance, the crowd at the WWE Performance Center broke out in an unmistakable chant: “Fire Def Rebel.” The pointed jab was directed at WWE’s in-house music production team, signaling that this latest track may have missed the mark with fans used to more impactful themes.

Despite the rocky musical reception, Grace handled business in the ring. She defeated Vice and punched her ticket to the upcoming Fatal 4-Way match set for the June 24 edition of NXT. There, she’ll battle Lash Legend, Jaida Parker, and Izzi Dame for a shot at the NXT Women’s Championship, currently held by Jacy Jayne. The title match is scheduled to take place at WWE Evolution.

Though the crowd may not have loved the new theme, Grace’s momentum in NXT continues to build—and with Evolution on the horizon, she’s just one win away from a golden opportunity.

Jordynne Grace and Stephanie Vaquer Reportedly Headed to WWE Main Roster

The winds of change continue to blow through WWE NXT, and Tuesday night’s episode only added fuel to the fire. Two of the brand’s biggest female stars appear to be on the verge of major promotions, and the timing couldn’t be more telling.

According to wrestling journalist Cory Hays, Stephanie Vaquer and Jordynne Grace are expected to make the leap to the main roster imminently. Hays posted a text screenshot on X (formerly Twitter) that simply reads: “Stephanie Vaquer is expected to join ‘Raw.’ Jordynne Grace is expected to join ‘SmackDown.'” While Hays didn’t disclose the source of the message, he did note that Grace’s time in NXT was never intended to be long-term.

Grace officially signed with WWE in February after multiple cameo appearances while she was still with TNA. Her contract reportedly placed her on the main roster from the start, but WWE held off on her Raw or SmackDown debut until they had a meaningful spot for her—especially with WrestleMania 41 on the horizon. Her most recent in-ring action came at NXT Battleground, where she unsuccessfully challenged Vaquer for the NXT Women’s Championship.

As for Vaquer, her loss on last night’s episode of NXT may have been her curtain call for the brand. She dropped the title to Jacy Jayne in a chaotic match that saw interference from Jayne’s Fatal Influence allies Jazmyn Nyx and Fallon Henley. Vaquer, who signed with WWE last summer and won the title from Giulia in March, will get one final NXT spotlight when she competes at Worlds Collide next weekend in Inglewood, California.

These anticipated call-ups align with WWE’s recent pattern of bolstering the main roster with fresh faces from NXT. Giulia and Roxanne Perez were recently elevated, and both are already carving out their spaces on the big stage. Meanwhile, Ricky Starks also lost his title last night, hinting at a possible call-up of his own, though nothing has been confirmed yet regarding his next steps.

If the reports prove true, WWE is building a formidable new generation on both Raw and SmackDown, and fans should expect some serious shake-ups heading into the second half of 2025.

Giulia Shakes Up NXT Women’s Title Picture with Shocking Return Ahead of Stand & Deliver

The road to Stand & Deliver just got a lot more chaotic — and a lot more exciting — as the NXT Women’s Championship picture saw a major shakeup on Tuesday night’s episode of WWE NXT.

The show kicked off with Jaida Parker squaring off against TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace in a match with championship implications. NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer was on commentary, poised to reveal her challenger for Stand & Deliver after the bout. But things spiraled out of control before she could even finish her thought.

After a fast-paced start, the match broke down outside the ring. Parker, never one to back down from confrontation, slapped Vaquer at ringside. The champ fired back, but in the chaos accidentally nailed Grace, prompting the referee to call for the disqualification. That didn’t stop the fight, though — all three women kept brawling, and just when things couldn’t get any more volatile, Giulia’s music hit.

The former NXT Women’s Champion made a thunderous return, sprinting to the ring and aligning with Vaquer — or so it seemed. After fending off Parker and Grace, Giulia turned on her ally-turned-rival, hitting Vaquer with a devastating Death Valley Driver and holding the title high above her head, a clear message that she’s back and wants her gold.

Later in the night, a furious and defiant Vaquer told NXT General Manager Ava that she will defend her title against all three challengers — Giulia, Jaida Parker, and Jordynne Grace — in a fatal four-way match at Stand & Deliver.

This marks Giulia’s first appearance on NXT TV since dropping the title to Vaquer at Roadblock in Madison Square Garden last month. Though there were rumors of an injury following her title loss, she had quietly been working non-televised live events, and now she’s made her presence felt in a major way.

With four top-tier competitors and no shortage of personal animosity, the NXT Women’s Championship match at Stand & Deliver is shaping up to be one of the most must-see bouts of WrestleMania weekend. Will Vaquer survive the onslaught, or is Giulia poised to reclaim her throne?

Stay tuned — NXT’s women’s division just became the hottest ticket in town.

Surprise Entrants Shake Up the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble Matches

The 2025 WWE Royal Rumble delivered plenty of unexpected moments, as 60 Superstars battled for their chance to main event WrestleMania. From shocking returns to unexpected debuts, this year’s Rumble continued the tradition of jaw-dropping surprises.

Jey Uso’s Historic Victory & iShowSpeed’s Last-Minute Appearance

The biggest shock of the night came when Jey Uso outlasted 29 other men to win his first-ever Royal Rumble, eliminating John Cena to secure his WrestleMania moment. The win solidifies Jey as a true main-event player, and the WWE Universe is already buzzing about who he will challenge on the grandest stage of them all.

But the surprises started much earlier. Akira Tozawa was scheduled to compete but never made it to the ring, thanks to a blindsiding attack from Carmelo Hayes. With a sudden vacancy in the match, Triple H made a split-second decision and sent out popular streaming star iShowSpeed, who happened to be nearby. The internet sensation may not have lasted long, but his appearance added a wild, unpredictable element to the match.

TNA Represented in the Men’s Rumble

In a major crossover moment, TNA World Champion Joe Hendry made his surprise Royal Rumble debut to a thunderous ovation. However, his decision to go after Roman Reigns proved costly, as The Tribal Chief quickly disposed of him. Still, Hendry’s brief but memorable appearance marked a huge moment for WWE and TNA’s ongoing working relationship.

The surprises didn’t stop there, as AJ Styles made his long-awaited return after months sidelined with a foot injury. Entering at number 21, The Phenomenal One put on a strong showing, even eliminating LA Knight before Logan Paul ultimately sent him packing.

Women’s Rumble Sees Major Debuts and Returns

The Women’s Royal Rumble also delivered its fair share of shocking moments, none bigger than Jordynne Grace officially entering as a WWE Superstar. The former TNA Knockouts Champion’s participation confirmed what had been rumored for weeks—she’s now part of the WWE roster.

Another major return saw Alexa Bliss step back into the ring after two years away. Amid speculation about her WWE future, Bliss silenced the doubters by making a strong comeback.

Fans were also treated to appearances by two WWE Hall of Famers. Trish Stratus entered at No. 25, while Nikki Bella had the advantage of the coveted No. 30 spot. However, both legends fell victim to Nia Jax, who had a record-breaking performance, eliminating nine competitors before being taken out herself.

What’s Next on the Road to WrestleMania?

With Jey Uso now set for a championship match at WrestleMania and several surprise entrants making waves, the road to WrestleMania 41 is already heating up. Will Jordynne Grace make an immediate impact in WWE? What’s next for AJ Styles after his return? And how will John Cena respond to coming up short?

Jordynne Grace Signs Multi-Year Deal with WWE, Possible Royal Rumble Appearance Teased

It’s official—Jordynne Grace, one of the most dominant performers in recent memory, has signed a multi-year contract with WWE. According to Fightful Select, WWE reached out to Grace just weeks before she wrapped up her time with TNA Wrestling, making their interest clear.

Grace, a former TNA Knockouts Champion and a standout in women’s wrestling, reportedly finalized her WWE deal shortly after competing in her final TNA match. Following TNA’s Genesis event, Grace flew to the WWE Performance Center to finalize her contract, with PWInsider confirming she was at the facility earlier this week.

Leaving TNA Behind

TNA was reportedly aware of Grace’s decision to leave and had time to prepare for her departure. Known for her powerhouse style and undeniable presence in the ring, Grace was a cornerstone of TNA’s Knockouts division. Her move to WWE marks the next big step in her already illustrious career.

As a result of her signing, Grace has canceled an independent wrestling appearance scheduled for this weekend in Texas. This sudden change in plans has sparked speculation about her immediate future in WWE.

Royal Rumble Speculation

Grace is expected to be in Indianapolis this weekend, which coincides with the Royal Rumble. While WWE hasn’t officially confirmed her participation in the women’s Rumble match, her presence at the event has fueled rumors that she could debut as a surprise entrant. If Grace does enter the Rumble, it would be a monumental way to introduce her to WWE’s global audience.

What Jordynne Grace Brings to WWE

Grace’s signing is a huge win for WWE’s women’s division. Known for her blend of power, athleticism, and technical skill, she is a game-changer in any promotion she joins. Whether mixing it up with the likes of Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, or Bianca Belair, Grace has the potential to make an immediate impact and quickly rise to the top of the roster.

What’s Next?

All eyes are on this weekend’s Royal Rumble, where Grace could make her WWE debut in front of a massive crowd. Even if she doesn’t appear in the Rumble, fans won’t have to wait long to see the powerhouse make waves in her new home.

Jordynne Grace, Josh Alexander, & PCO Leaving TNA Wrestling

It appears TNA Wrestling is heading into a period of transition, with three high-profile names seemingly on their way out of the company. As contracts come to an end, the promotion could be set for some major roster shake-ups.

Jordynne Grace Wraps Up TNA Run After Loss to Tessa Blanchard

Jordynne Grace’s time with TNA seems to have reached its conclusion. After suffering a hard-fought loss to Tessa Blanchard at the Genesis 2025 pay-per-view, reports indicate that Grace’s contract is set to expire this month, making her exit almost certain. If Genesis was indeed her final appearance, Grace leaves behind a legacy as one of the company’s most dominant and dynamic performers, having elevated the Knockouts Division during her tenure.

The departure of Grace raises questions about where she’ll land next. With her impressive resume and undeniable star power, speculation is bound to swirl around potential moves to other major promotions like WWE, AEW, or a return to the indie scene.

Jordynne Grace posted this Thank You on X.

Josh Alexander Nearing the End of His TNA Contract

Josh Alexander, another cornerstone of TNA’s roster, is also reportedly on his way out. His current contract is set to expire in mid-February, and expectations are that he’ll part ways with the company soon afterward.

As a former TNA World Champion and one of the most technically gifted wrestlers on the roster, Alexander’s potential departure is a significant blow. Known for his gritty in-ring style and consistency, Alexander has been a fan favorite and a reliable workhorse for the promotion. Like Grace, his next move will undoubtedly attract attention, with fans eager to see where “The Walking Weapon” ends up next.

PCO Parts Ways with TNA After Controversial Championship Incident

PCO’s exit from TNA Wrestling appears to be far more dramatic. During the The People vs. GCW event on Sunday night, the veteran made headlines by smashing the TNA Digital Media Championship in a shocking moment. This symbolic destruction of the title came as rumors of his departure from the company began circulating.

PCO later took to Twitter to address the situation, delivering a cryptic and frustrated message aimed at TNA’s management. In his tweet, he praised the talent roster, production, and creative teams, while taking issue with what he described as “new management.” He hinted at behind-the-scenes issues, calling out TNA President Scott D’Amore as a key figure in his dissatisfaction.

The 55-year-old has carved out a unique niche in the industry, bringing a chaotic energy and an “anything can happen” vibe wherever he goes. Whether this explosive departure marks the end of his storied career or a new chapter elsewhere remains to be seen.

What’s Next for TNA?

These departures highlight an intriguing moment for TNA Wrestling. While losing key talent like Jordynne Grace, Josh Alexander, and PCO is undoubtedly a blow, the promotion has rebounded from roster turnover before. With its renewed focus on expanding its brand and delivering compelling storylines, the company will need to bolster its roster and maintain momentum moving forward.

As 2025 kicks off, the wrestling world will undoubtedly keep a close eye on where these departing stars land—and what TNA does to fill the gaps left behind. Will we see new faces step up to take their places, or could TNA surprise fans with big-name signings? Only time will tell.

TNA Faces Major Roster Shake-Up As Multiple Stars Are Exiting The Company

TNA Wrestling is entering 2024 with some significant changes, as the company prepares for a wave of talent departures. Following Final Resolution and the most recent TNA Impact tapings, several key names appear to be closing out their runs with the promotion, signaling a major shake-up for the roster heading into the new year.

KUSHIDA Nearing the End of His TNA Run

One of the most notable names preparing to exit is Japanese star KUSHIDA. According to Fightful Select, KUSHIDA is currently wrapping up his last contracted run with TNA. While he’s been a prominent part of the promotion, KUSHIDA’s primary focus seems to be shifting back to New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), where he and Kevin Knight are the current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. The duo will defend their titles at Wrestle Kingdom 19 on January 4, a clear indicator that NJPW will become his main priority moving forward.

KUSHIDA’s exit will leave a void in TNA’s international presence, as his blend of technical precision and high-flying style has been a key highlight for fans over the past year.

Trent Seven Officially Departs

Another international talent saying farewell is Trent Seven. Reports from PWInsider confirm that Seven has wrapped up his time with TNA, placing him alongside his Speedball Mountain partner “Speedball” Mike Bailey in the free-agent pool. Seven’s departure marks the end of his brief but impactful run with the company, where he delivered standout performances both as a singles competitor and in tag team action.

Jade Chung and Josh Alexander Eye Free Agency

Behind the scenes, Jade Chung has also exited TNA. Chung, who served as a ring announcer and on-screen personality, has officially confirmed her departure, a move supported by her husband, Josh Alexander. Interestingly, Alexander—one of TNA’s top stars and a former World Champion—could also be testing the waters of free agency in the near future. His potential departure would be a major blow to TNA, as Alexander has been a cornerstone of the promotion over the last several years.

Other Big Names on the Move

These exits join a growing list of talent either leaving TNA or reportedly considering their next steps. Among them:

  • Rhino, a TNA Hall of Famer, recently wrestled his final match at the latest Impact tapings, marking the end of an era. On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that talent was asked to take a pay cut, which factored into Rhino’s exit. He said, “One of the things that happened was a lot of the talent was asked to take pay cuts, I don’t know how many, that was among the reasons Rhino left. So he left. His last match would have been on Saturday.”
  • AJ Francis (formerly known as Top Dolla in WWE) will become a free agent unless he receives a new contract offer before the year’s end.
  • Jordynne Grace, one of TNA’s most decorated Knockouts Champions, is rumored to be WWE-bound once her contract officially expires. Grace’s potential move to WWE has been a hot topic, given her star power and dominance in the Knockouts division.

What’s Next for TNA?

While the departures mark the end of an era for many familiar faces, TNA has long been a company that thrives on reinvention. The upcoming months will likely focus on rebuilding and introducing new talent to fill the gaps left behind. With stars like KUSHIDA, Trent Seven, and Jordynne Grace making waves across wrestling’s global landscape, TNA’s roster shake-up could serve as an opportunity for emerging talent to rise to the occasion.

For fans, the biggest question remains: Who will step up to lead TNA into 2024? As the promotion enters a new chapter, one thing’s for sure—change is coming, and all eyes will be on TNA to see how they adapt in the year ahead.

Report – TNA’s Jordynne Grace To Sign With WWE In 2025

Jordynne Grace may soon make a significant transition in her career.

Grace, currently contracted with TNA Wrestling, generated buzz after appearing at Royal Rumble 2024 and later on WWE NXT as part of the TNA-WWE collaboration.

Now, with her contract reportedly set to expire earlier than anticipated, speculation regarding Grace’s future is growing.

Fightful Select has shared new details about Grace’s situation. Originally, she was under contract with TNA until the spring or summer of 2025, but it seems her deal has been altered to end in January 2025.

The report suggested that many believe Grace may move to WWE once her contract concludes, stating, “You can guess where a lot of people think she’s going to go in January. She has posted that she has stopped doing her exclusive content… WWE clearly likes her. That leads to a natural conclusion that a lot of people expect her to go there.”

Grace’s appearances on WWE NXT, including a notable match against NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez at NXT Battleground 2024, received positive reactions from fans, fueling rumors of a potential WWE move.

Although Grace signed a new contract with TNA last year, the amended expiration date of January 2025 only increases her chances of switching to WWE.
