Jordynne Grace Appears on WWE SmackDown – Jordynne Grace’s move to the WWE main roster appears to be drawing closer following developments on the January 2 episode of WWE SmackDown. During the broadcast, Grace was featured in a backstage segment that strongly hinted at an expanded role beyond NXT as SmackDown officially transitioned back to a three-hour format.

In the segment, Grace was shown speaking with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, who made it clear he was interested in bringing her into his long-term plans for the blue brand. Aldis emphasized the opportunities created by the expanded runtime and positioned SmackDown as a place where Grace could thrive. Grace acknowledged the offer and said Aldis had given her a lot to think about, but she stopped short of formally accepting the proposal.

The conversation was interrupted by WWE Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green, whose presence immediately shifted the tone of the segment. Grace responded pointedly, saying that some people are going to make this decision a lot easier, a line that drew a strong reaction and appeared to signal her interest in the Women’s United States Championship picture.

Later in the show, Grace appeared in a separate backstage segment with Jade Cargill, and this interaction carried far more edge. Grace stated that she was seriously thinking about signing with SmackDown, prompting an immediate response from Cargill. Cargill told Grace, you are that bitch, delivering the line with confidence and authority. Grace shot back just as quickly, responding, I’m Grace, before adding that Cargill is definitely one of those. The exchange was brief, but loaded, immediately positioning both women as dominant forces and teasing a potential collision down the line.

The Cargill segment expanded Grace’s outlook even further. Rather than being tied to one storyline, Grace was presented as a major player weighing multiple paths on SmackDown, from title contention to high-profile rivalries.

Grace is no stranger to main roster audiences. She previously debuted on WWE television during the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble and followed that up with another appearance in the 2025 Royal Rumble match. After a multi-year run with TNA, Grace officially signed with WWE in 2025 and has spent the past year competing exclusively in NXT. Despite several high-profile matches, she has yet to capture championship gold since joining the company.

If finalized, Grace would become the latest NXT standout to be called up to the main roster, joining recent additions such as Trick Williams and Lash Legend. As noted by WrestlingAttitude.Com, the SmackDown segment was presented in a way that strongly suggested her transition is more a matter of timing than possibility, especially with championship implications now clearly in play.
