Royal Rumble Update: Jordynne Grace Expected Despite Denial, NXT Star Could Debut

One Big Thing

Former TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace is set to appear in the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble match, despite her social media claims to the contrary.

Key Details

• Grace posted on X that she would be hosting her mother’s 50th birthday party this weekend
• Multiple sources confirm Grace was spotted at Indianapolis airport Friday morning
• PWInsider reports Grace is “one million percent” in Indianapolis for the Rumble
• NXT star Stephanie Vaquer is also being discussed as a potential entrant

By The Numbers

• Grace lasted 19+ minutes in the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble
• This would mark Grace’s second Royal Rumble appearance

Why It Matters

Grace’s appearance holds special significance as she recently signed with WWE, making this her first Royal Rumble as a WWE talent. Her participation could signal the start of her main roster journey and potentially set up future storylines.

Background Context

Wrestlers often deny Rumble appearances to preserve surprise elements. WWE Hall of Famer Edge used similar tactics before his shocking 2020 Royal Rumble return after a nine-year retirement.

What’s Next

Stephanie Vaquer, if included, would make her main roster debut at the Rumble. She’s currently scheduled to challenge Fallon Henley for the NXT Women’s North American Championship at Vengeance Day on February 15.
