100 Greatest WWE Royal Rumble Moments Ever

87. Jordynne Grace & Naomi Rep TNA (2024)

WWE Royal Rumble 2020 Edge

That's handy, because the next moment examined involved TNA.

It's a two-for-one as well. WWE combined the arrival of Jordynne Grace with Naomi's full-time comeback on the roster. Fans were impressed by both, and it's surely only a matter of time before Grace blows up to become an NXT, Raw or SmackDown regular. That hasn't happened at the time of writing, but it might've by the time some check out this Rumble collection.

Jordynne looked like a million bucks as she worked a worthwhile 19-minute run in the match. She didn't eliminate anybody and got ousted by Bianca Belair, but Grace definitely turned some heads. Before that, it was Naomi's turn to do the same. She beamed from ear to ear when entering as #2.

Naomi worked just over a full hour before future pal Jade Cargill (another surprise) tossed her. Triple H really showed off just how into the idea of working with TNA he was here. Mickie James might've brought the Knockouts belt with her before, but Grace and Naomi preceded a much more substantial union between both groups.
