Big IMPACT name could be headed towards free agency
Added 2023-04-17 03:01:19 +0000 UTCA big name in IMPACT could hit free agency very soon.
As of March, Former IMPACT Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace was set to become a free agent, Fightful Select has confirmed. We'd originally reported this date when she'd signed her last contract, but as we've seen with several wrestling contracts, that's hardly set in stone when extensions, raises, and injury time can be added to deals. We haven’t learned if Grace has signed a deal since that period.
Grace has become a millionaire outside of pro wrestling via her exclusive content site, but we have no insight on how or if that will weigh into an eventual decision. We're told that IMPACT Wrestling at the time, would have "ideally" like to retain the 27-year old star.
Grace signed a two-year contract extension in 2021, which followed her 2019 two-year contract. The 2019 contract was particularly interesting because despite someone in IMPACT leaking that she'd signed a deal with the company in the fall of 2018, the paperwork actually never got finalized, and Grace was working without a contract for several months. Shortly after the launch of AEW and when WWE was securing long term deals, Grace approached IMPACT with this information and was able to secure a raise over the originally agreed terms.
Grace lost in the main event of IMPACT Rebellion.

Jade's fine for where she is at this stage of her career. She just doesn't have the luxury that most at this stage of their career have, of not being in front of hundreds of thousands of people while she's progressing and developing.

2023-04-17 22:48:38 +0000 UTCThey're being used in AEW *on YouTube.* On conventional television, it's basically the same one of two matches every frikkin' week--the only difference coming if it's singles or tag.

2023-04-17 22:46:13 +0000 UTCThey are being used in AEW but the key part of the storyline is that they are ex-WWE. So good point, they aren't really being used.

2023-04-17 19:29:21 +0000 UTCAnd you think they're being used in AEW, Blake?

2023-04-17 18:01:27 +0000 UTCJades getting way better, she's only been doing this for 2 years.

2023-04-17 06:30:37 +0000 UTCEven as a one-off, the World needs Jordynne Grace vs Jade.

2023-04-17 04:30:29 +0000 UTCAfter tonight’s loss she might be going to WWE with a huge contract
2023-04-17 04:14:45 +0000 UTCShe's definitely not going to AEW after what happened with her husband. She'd have to give up her OnlyFans to go to WWE. So I suspect she's going to stay with Impact.

2023-04-17 03:48:43 +0000 UTCThey worked in different companies for years. IMPACT is a 20 weekend a year job
Fightful Select
2023-04-17 03:23:55 +0000 UTCNah she’s not giving up her outside income to go to NXT for maybe 1k a week.

2023-04-17 03:20:26 +0000 UTCIf she’s making that much with exclusive, content, and her whole bodybuilding competition thing now, I can’t imagine her going to WWE. I’m sure she’d get paid more than at Impact but would lose out on those perks.

2023-04-17 03:11:32 +0000 UTCCame to say this, she doesn't fit into either style
Marshall Enloe
2023-04-17 03:10:13 +0000 UTCShe could still leave for WWE
Shawn Garner
2023-04-17 03:09:51 +0000 UTCI doubt she's leaving
2023-04-17 03:09:43 +0000 UTCIm not sure a door is open with WWE or AEW
