Jordynne Grace Took Pay Cut To Join WWE

Jordynne Grace has been a standout performer in TNA Wrestling for years, establishing herself as one of the promotionโ€™s biggest stars. Now rising through the ranks of WWE NXT, Graceโ€™s transition to WWE continues to attract attention โ€” especially regarding the terms of her contract.

According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, former TNA President Scott Dโ€™Amore noted that Grace “took a deal for a lot less money than she was making to come to WWE and bet on herself.โ€ The brief comment left some speculating that Grace accepted a lower salary compared to her TNA earnings in order to pursue greater long-term opportunities with WWE.

However, Fightful Select provided additional context. The outlet reported earlier this year that while Grace may currently earn less overall in WWE than she did through a combination of her TNA salary and various outside ventures and brand deals, her WWE salary alone is on par with that of a main roster talent. In other words, she is being compensated at a significant level โ€” and more than what she earned directly from TNA.

It’s also worth noting that Grace was already a millionaire before signing with WWE, according to Fightful. This puts her in a unique position to bet on her future while continuing to grow her brand under WWEโ€™s global spotlight.

Grace remains a featured star in NXT and her presence in WWE is expected to grow in the months ahead.
