TNA Champion Jordynne Grace to challenge NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez at Battleground

Coming into this week’s episode of NXT TV we knew we would find out who Roxanne Perez’s next challenger for her NXT women’s championship would be, we just didn’t have much hint regarding a name. There were some rumors, sure, but not much concrete from NXT itself.

All they said was General Manager Ava has been none too pleased with her of late and she would choose a new opponent for her.

After Perez cut a promo talking about caring about the title more than anyone, Ava showed up to give us one hell of a surprise — TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace will be the women who challenges Perez for her title.

“Holy shit” chants rang out from the Performance Center faithful.

Grace introduced herself as the TNA Knockouts champion, for those who don’t remember her from the Royal Rumble earlier this year.

• NXT Women’s Championship: Roxanne Perez (c) vs. Jordnne Grace
