Jordynne Grace wants to work more with NXT
Recently, while speaking to Matt Morgan on the Gigantic Pop, Big Momma Pump mentioned that she hopes to work more with the Black & Gold brand NXT.
“I think so. I hope so,” Jordynne Grace admitted. “Obviously, we don’t know things until last second it feels like. But I think that is the goal, and that’s the plan. Knock on wood.”
The TNA Knockouts Champion also spoke highly about the Senior Vice President of Talent Relations in WWE, Shawn Michaels.
“It’s actually kind of insane how down to earth he is,” Grace admitted. “I just feel like I’m just talking to an old friend. He’s so chill and approachable, like a lot of people in management, they seem unapproachable. You never want to bother them. But I feel like Shawn; he always has an open ear, and he’s ready to talk to anybody, anytime. So it’s been really, really awesome working for him.”
NXT and TNA have been working together a lot in recent times. This past Tuesday on NXT, The Rascalz and Joe Hendry also made an impact on the Black and Gold Brand.
