Jordynne Grace has arrived in NXT and is officially now a WWE Superstar. She spent the past near seven years of her young career in TNA. There, she became a three-time TNA Knockouts World Champion. Her third reign began when she defeated Trinity, who is known in WWE as Naomi.
While speaking with The Wrestling Classic, Naomi talked about Grace’s arrival in WWE.
“I’m so happy for her. If there’s anybody that deserves the spotlight and to be put on a pedestal and to be given their time to shine, it’s her. I think she is truly amazing in and out of the ring. It’s not a gimmick, she really is the juggernaut [laughs]. She’s incredible, and she helped me so much in TNA, gave me some of my best matches and really helped me with my confidence and with my in-ring. She’s truly a wrestler wrestler. She lives, breathes, dies this world and wrestling, and I love that about her. I think it shows every time she’s performed that there’s nobody like her.” (Transcript: Fightful)
In the same interview, Naomi made mention how she would like a run in NXT. As an original NXT girl based off of the competition version of NXT, Naomi had the following to say.
“There’s just so much talent. I love [Kelani Jordan], just her energy. I think she’s super sweet, and I think she genuinely connects with the fans. Everybody is super athletic, super talented. It just seems like they’re picking it up a lot faster these days, especially with the D-1 athletes coming in. It’s just like man, these women are on a whole ‘nother level, and I love that. I would love to face or work with anybody down in NXT, especially being an original NXT girl, season three, and I think a lot of people don’t even remember that or forgot about that. But I would love to have a run in NXT because I should have won the first NXT, and I didn’t, so I got a little chip on my shoulder about that.
Lola [Vice] is a great heel, she is just nasty with it. They’re super talented. Lash [Legend] and Jakara [Jackson], of course. Shotzi’s group, Chemical X. I love it, it’s a super cool name, they got a super cool look. They all flow well together. I can’t wait to see how they continue to grow together. It’s just so much talent down there. The list goes on and on and on,” Naomi said. (Transcript: Fightful)
