Jordynne Grace expresses her interest in facing Rhea Ripley.
Grace and Ripley have risen to the forefront of their respective women's divisions in recent years. Grace is a former two-time IMPACT Knockouts World Champion and a former IMPACT Knockouts World Tag Team Champion. She also won the Queen of the Mountain match in 2022, and she was the first Knockouts Triple Croen Winner. Meanwhile, Ripley has enjoyed plenty of success in WWE; she is a WWE Women's Grand Slam Champion, and she won the 2023 Women's Royal Rumble. As of this writing, Ripley is the reigning WWE SmackDown Women's Champion.
During a virtual signing for K&S WrestleFest, Grace was asked to name which WWE star she would want to face, and Rhea Ripley was named as a possibility. Grace complimented Ripley and noted that a match between the two would be awesome.
“Oh man. We followed each on Twitter a while ago, and we like each other’s stuff a lot. I think it would be really, really awesome. I feel like she’s undergone kind of a similar transformation as me, from when she first started in wrestling. She looked kind of like a Barbie doll, she had the long, blonde hair, and she looked very different than she does now. I’d definitely love to wrestle her. She’s incredible," Grace said.
During the virtual signing, Grace also recalled her interaction with CM Punk backstage at an IMPACT television taping. Check out her comments here.
