WWE officially announced the promotion of Jordynne Grace to the main roster during the final moments of NXT New Year's Evil, confirming one of the most anticipated moves in recent months within the women's division.

After the main event of the show, a backstage segment showed NXT General Manager Ava addressing a group of talents to inform them that their time in the developmental brand had come to an end. Among the names announced were Lash Legend, Je'Von Evans, and Trick Williams, but the announcement didn't end there.

Ava added one last name to the list: Jordynne Grace. With this, WWE definitively confirmed the jump to the main roster of one of the most dominant wrestlers to have passed through NXT in the last year.

Grace has already begun to make an impact on the main roster with recent appearances on SmackDown, where she had several standout confrontations with Chelsea Green and the current WWE Women's Champion, Jade Cargill. These encounters suggest that the blue brand could be her immediate destination, although it has not been officially announced to which brand she will belong.

As for the rest of the promotions, Je'Von Evans will be headed to Raw, while Trick Williams and Lash Legend, also a couple outside the ring, will be part of the SmackDown roster.

After a year in NXT, the next chapter of Jordynne Grace begins now. Her arrival on the main roster represents a clear statement of intent by WWE and adds a physical and competitive presence that can immediately alter the balance of the women's division.
