Jordynne Grace will step into her weaponized steel cage bout at NXT No Mercy carrying a legitimate injury. During the Countdown to NXT No Mercy pre-show, it was revealed that she suffered a broken thumb but has been medically cleared to face Blake Monroe.
Despite the setback, Grace will move forward with the scheduled contest. She is required to wear a protective cast on her hand throughout the clash inside the cage.
The announcement was delivered on the pre-show broadcast by Megan Morant. “She’s entering this weaponized steel cage with a broken thumb. She’s cleared to compete, but she will have the cast on her during the match.”
This update came immediately after a hype package highlighting the stakes of the showdown. The presentation emphasized both the brutality of the stipulation and the determination of Grace to fight through the injury.
Commentator Roberts added context, noting that the damaged thumb could fuel Grace’s intensity once the action begins. He suggested the injury might push her toward an even more aggressive performance inside the cage.
