Top WWE Star Shockingly Eliminated by NXT Star in Women’s Royal Rumble Match
During the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble match, NXT Women’s Champion Giulia eliminated recent WWE signee Jordynne Grace, who joined the company after her TNA contract expired.
Jordynne Grace made her debut as an official WWE competitor during the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble match. Grace, who signed with WWE following the expiration of her TNA contract on January 1, 2025, demonstrated her strength by executing a Death Valley Driver on Piper Niven during the match.
Grace’s previous relationship with WWE included sporadic NXT appearances throughout 2024 while under contract with TNA. During this period, she challenged Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship while simultaneously defending her TNA Knockouts Title against Sol Ruca on the developmental brand.
NXT Women’s Champion Giulia brought Grace’s Royal Rumble appearance to an end, eliminating the former TNA Knockouts Champion from the match. The interaction between the two competitors adds a layer of interest to the NXT Women’s Championship picture.
Grace joins WWE with an accomplished background, having captured multiple championships across various promotions throughout her career.
