A video circulated on social media showed Grace landing awkwardly on her ankle during a top rope spot in the match. This led to the match being stopped as the referee threw up the X sign. The doctors checked in on her, and the match ended early with Fyre getting the pinfall.

Later on X, Grace confirmed her injury, uploading a photo of herself in a wheelchair. Now in a post on Instagram, she shared a video of the exact moment she got hurt while also posing alongside Chelsea Green, who is also dealing with an ankle injury.

She noted that she had been injury-free for 16 years, but soon after turning 30, she got herself hurt.

“It’s ALWAYS the things that you’ve done 10,000 times before. Like, who told my ankle to be doing all that? 😭 I’ve been blessed to have gone 16 years injury-free. The moment I turn 30, my ankle folds like a lawn chair. Coincidence?” she wrote.

In the photo with Green, both stars can be seen wearing a walking boot as a result of their injuries.

Jordynne Grace teased as the new ‘Paul Heyman girl’ in WWE

Jordynne Grace has quickly risen up the ranks since arriving on SmackDown from NXT. She has already featured in high-profile matches and competed against Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship last month.

The attention on her continues to grow with WWE 2K26. During an announcement regarding the new game, Paul Heyman revealed a new storyline as part of the MyRISE mode.

The storyline will see the player take control of a men’s or women’s division star, who is returning to WWE after two years. However, the comeback is cut short after a defeat at the hands of one of Heyman’s champions, Bron Breakker and Jordynne Grace.

While Breakker is aligned with the Oracle on RAW, the inclusion of Grace as a Paul Heyman girl is surprising. Fans will have to wait and see whether this in-game storyline translates into a real-life alliance down the road.
