A Q&A from WrestleVotes has revealed exactly why Jordynne Grace has been posted missing from WWE television for months now. According to the write up, it isn't injuries that have derailed Jordynne's career on the main roster. However, she did suffer an ankle sprain in March which can't have helped.

The real reason? WWE's creative team just don't have that much for her to do on TV.

WrestleVotes noted that Grace "is not in storylines" at the moment. That, combined with the fact that SmackDown recently dropped from 3-2 hours, means there's limited scope for pushing her in front of the cameras for a match or segment. Any matches Jordynne would be involved in might be cold and out of context, because she isn't really feuding with anyone.

The website noted that SmackDown dropping that third hour has impacted the women's division most of all. That's not exclusive - prior focus on the tag-team ranks has been shrinking for a while now, and there are loads of stars male and female who can't find house room on the show.

Look at Ilja Dragunov, for example. He's gone from riding high as United States Champion to barely getting a look in.

SmackDown's male main event scene is also stacked. Returns from the likes of Kevin Owens and Randy Orton have squeezed some already experiencing meagre amounts of match/promo time right out. So, workers like Grace will just have to be patient or try to make the most of any opportunities that do come their way.

Her last match on the blue brand was a 4 minute win over Candice LeRae on the 27 February episode.
