WWE NXT’s Wendy Choo challenging for Knockouts title at TNA Victory Road
Jordynne Grace is putting her TNA Knockouts World Championship on the line against another member of the WWE NXT roster.
Following an angle that took place on NXT last night, TNA has confirmed that Grace will defend her Knockouts Championship against Wendy Choo at Victory Road 2024 this Friday. The show is being held in San Antonio, Texas and will air live on TNA+.
Grace had a Knockouts Championship open challenge on Tuesday’s NXT, facing off against Sol Ruca. But the match ended in a no contest when it was disrupted by Choo and Rosemary. The lights went out, Rosemary confronted Grace, and Choo attacked Grace from behind.
TNA then uploaded a promo from Grace today announcing her match against Choo for Victory Road.
“I’ve made it clear since I won this title that I’m willing to defend it against any and all challengers, but some people just can’t seem to wait their turn,” Grace said. “Wendy Choo, it’s obvious that you want a title shot — and I’m going to give that to you. This Friday at Victory Road. Not for you, but for me. Because the best part about Victory Road is that it’s in San Antonio. In Texas, my home state. And I’m more than happy to defend my title and beat your ass in front of my entire family.”
Grace has defended the Knockouts title against NXT wrestlers Tatum Paxley, Izzi Dame, Karmen Petrovic, and Ruca since the working relationship between TNA and NXT began.
