Jordynne Grace shared details about an ankle injury she sustained during a WWE Main Event match against Alba Fyre, which took place just before SmackDown aired on Friday. The injury occurred as Grace landed awkwardly after evading an attack by Fyre, prompting her to describe the moment on X as, “My ankle glitched irl.”
Visual Confirmation of Injury and Current Condition
Alongside the update, Grace posted video footage of the injury incident and images showing her current state backstage. One photo captured Grace using a wheelchair borrowed from Chelsea Green, who is also dealing with an ankle injury. Another image showed Grace wearing a walking boot and supporting herself with crutches, highlighting the seriousness of the situation.
Grace’s WWE Journey and Recent Matches
After a period competing in NXT, Grace was officially promoted to the WWE main roster on SmackDown in January. Since then, she has secured victories in singles matches against Alba Fyre, Chelsea Green, and Candice LeRae. Although Grace recently challenged Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship and came up short, she has maintained a strong presence on the roster.
Potential Impact on Upcoming WWE Events and Plans
Rhea Ripley’s victory in the women’s Elimination Chamber match has set her up for a championship bout against Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42, leaving Grace’s role at the event uncertain. Possible paths for Grace could involve pursuing the Women’s United States Championship held by Giulia or forming a team to challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. However, the extent of her ankle injury introduces doubts about her availability.
Uncertainty Surrounds Recovery Timeline and WrestleMania Participation
The severity of Grace’s ankle condition and the duration of her recovery are currently unknown, but indications suggest she may need to sit out some upcoming shows. This development is particularly concerning given that WrestleMania, known as the Showcase of the Immortals, is less than six weeks away, potentially affecting Grace’s momentum and future opportunities within WWE.
