Jordynne Grace has a final message for Roxanne Perez and the entire professional wrestling world ahead of WWE NXT Battleground.
Grace is looking to become a dual champion across two televised promotions as the current TNA Knockouts World Champion takes on the WWE NXT Women's Champion at WWE NXT Battleground on June 9.
Grace was featured in a promo on the June 6 episode of TNA iMPACT! In that promo, Grace explains how she and Perez are two athletes who have similar journeys but choose to travel divergent paths. That all changes on Sunday when those paths cross inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
"I've been patient. I've always done everything asked of me without complaining. I've made the most of every opportunity given to me. I wrestled through injuries. I've cheered my colleagues on when they got spots that I wanted. It's my turn now," she said. "All eyes are on me, and I'm ready to flip the wrestling rod on its head. It started at the Royal Rumble, continued with Stevie Turner, and will end when I'm holding the NXT Women's Championship and the TNA Knockouts Championship over my head at the UFC Apex arena.
"Whether people see it or not, Roxanne Perez and I are two sides of the same coin," continued Grace. "She is a prodigy. She started wrestling when she was 14 years old. But you know, the funny thing is, so did I. The only real difference between Roxanne Perez and I is the paths that we chose to take, the companies that we decided to work for. On June 9, at Battleground, those paths cross. I am the catalyst of change. This is a whole new world and I'm the one leading the charge. When I become a dual champion at Battleground, not only will the TNA audience remember me forever, but so will the WWE Universe."
