So I went and watched the clip of Jordynne Grace in the Rumble. Honestly, I was shocked at how they put her over. Seems like they put a lot more respect on TNA with her appearance than they did with Mickie James in 2022; mentioning the TNA Knockouts championship by name, making a point of the fact that she beat Naomi for the belt, and not only letting her dominate the match for a bit, but commentary also selling her dominance. Loved the quote “TNA has an absolute weapon as champion!”
Yeah, Jordynne looked like she belonged in there with everyone. They absolutely made her look great. Mickie showing up with the belt felt huge, but this feels bigger for the reasons you mention and that Mickie had a verbal agreement with TNA and a history with WWE while Jordynne has a contract with TNA and no history with WWE, as far as I’m aware.
