Jordynne Grace talks about the six-sided ring and other former elements of TNA Wrestling that she believes could be utilized in the modern era.
TNA Wrestling returned officially after IMPACT Wrestling was rebranded back to its original name beginning with TNA Hard To Kill 2024. At that very event, Jordynne Grace captured the TNA Knockouts World Championship from Trinity and would later represent TNA wrestling in the 2024 women's WWE Royal Rumble Match.
During a recent interview with Sean Ross Sapp, Grace noted that she was very excited by the rebrand back to TNA, saying that, because of the relationship the TNA brand had grown with the audience, the promotion was never truly able to move away from the branding in the first place.
"I was so excited. I think a lot of us have wanted that for a long time," she said. "We swatched the name a couple of times over the years. Global Force, then moving to IMPACT. IMPACT was awesome in building it back up, but now we can finally embrace what TNA at its root was always meant to be, which is it was always supposed to be a family and somewhere that people could go and be the absolute best wrestlers that they could be. To embrace that again is amazing. We could never get away from the TNA chants. Even when we were IMPACT, it was always, ‘TNA! TNA! TNA!’"
In regards to other elements of TNA Wrestling that she would like to see return, Grace notes that while she doesn't want to see a full-time return of the six-sided ring, she believes that using it for a special event, could be meaningful.
Grace also noted that she would like to see the return of Elevation X. Elevation X was TNA's spin on Scaffold Matches where two wrestlers fought above the ring on a giant X with the goal of one competitor being knocked off.
"Personally, I would not like to see the six-sided ring come back full-time, but I would absolutely love to do a special pay-per-view. I’d love to see it for Slammiversary or Bound For Glory. I think that would make those pay-per-view, which are already huge pay-per-views, even more special, if we were able to get the six-sided ring back for those. I would also love to see the Elevation X comeback. That would be so sick."
