Having been a huge part of the ongoing working relationship between WWE and TNA, there's now an update on Jordynne Grace's contract status with the Anthem promotion.

Per Fightful Select, Grace's TNA deal is up in January, but that wasn't always the case. Previously, the Juggernaut re-signed with TNA in the summer of 2023 on a two-year contract, meaning she would become a free agent in the summer of 2025. However, Fightful understands that this contract was amended at some point, with it now due to expire next January.

As one would imagine, Fightful adds that WWE has interest in Jordynne and that Thicc Mama Pump has madn a good impression during her time working with WWE and NXT this year.

Of course, Jordynne Grace was a surprise entrant in this year's women's Royal Rumble, putting in a great showing and receiving a nice reaction from those at St. Petersburg's Tropicana Field. Since then, the 28-year-old reappeared to face NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez at NXT Battleground last month.

Elsewhere in the WWE/TNA relationship, Grace defended her TNA Knockouts Title against Tatum Paxley at TNA Against All Odds, Frankie Kazarian and Joe Hendry have appeared in NXT - Hendry briefly being shown at the close of this past weekend's NXT Heatwave, too - and the No Quarter Catch Crew and Izzi Dame were part of the most recent set of TNA TV tapings.
