Joe Hendry discusses Jordynne Grace crossing over into NXT.
At NXT Battleground, TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace will challenge Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship. Grace crossing over into NXT marks a major step in the collaboration between WWE and TNA.
Speaking with Adam Wilbourn of WhatCulture Wrestling, TNA’s Joe Hendry shared his thoughts on Jordynne Grace competing for NXT.
“Jordynne Grace has appeared, and has done phenomenally well, and is challenging for the NXT [Women’s Championship]. What I will say is, I think that Jordynne is such an awesome representative of TNA,” Joe Hendry said. “She’s someone that really inspires me. When I talk to even wrestling students back home about getting better, I talk about, I get them to rate themselves as wrestlers, and I do the same thing.
“I rate myself and go, ‘What am I out of ten on physique? What is my promo? What is my match quality?’ I rate myself on everything and then go, every three months or so, can I improve by one point? So I feel like that’s the journey I’ve been on.”
