TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace made her WWE debut at the 2024 Royal Rumble. Plenty of fans popped after seeing her, but Pat McAfee did not know who she was.
During the latest episode of the Pat McAfee Show, the NFL punter and new RAW commentator revealed that he had absolutely no idea about who Jordynne Grace was. McAfee was running down some of the details of his Royal Rumble experience. He noted how many of the names were new to him, including Grace. Despite not knowing who she was, McAfee praised her, and WWE for putting the spotlight on TNA.
“He [Corey Graves] has a expert level brain. And then Michael Cole is the greatest of all time. So then like, I’m just sitting there. There were some people that came out, I had no idea who they were. I had no clue. I was looking over at the Trons like, ‘What’s the name here? What’s the name here?’ And Cole and Corey were like, ‘Oh My!’ And I’m like, [Nervously] ‘Oh my, Oh my!’ Then I’m like, ‘Oh, this person doesn’t wrestle for the WWE?’ ‘No’ ‘Like not at all?’ ‘No, they’re somewhere else.’ ‘Oh! okay. All right! Sweet’ Jordynne Grace.
“I had no clue who that was. As I was going through Gorilla to get a ‘up and out’ Cuz they kind of kept it as a surprise back scene too, ot backstage. So I didn’t really see many people. So as I’m going through there, I see her and I’m like, ‘Oh!’ Cuz she had a title around and she was facing away. I’m like, ‘Holy f***!’ Who is jocked, absolutely jocked. And then I come out there and they are like, ‘TNA Knockouts Champion.’ It’s like holy shit! Hey and to the WWE’s credit, nobody really talks about this much, especially in the Wrestling Mark World. They put her over in the WWE Royal Rumble as the TNA Knockouts Champion,” Pat McAfee said.
