Paul Heyman has heaped praise on Jordynne Grace after being asked about a storyline in WWE 2K26’s MyRise mode in which he serves as her manager, calling her a magnificent athlete and saying 2K made a good choice in selecting her for the role.
Speaking to VGC, Heyman was asked which woman on the current WWE roster he could see being the first Paul Heyman girl in real life. He declined to name anyone out of respect for the rest of the women’s locker room before circling back to Grace with praise.
“I’m a big fan of Jordynne Grace,” Heyman said. “To say that there is a female in the locker room today that should be the first Paul Heyman girl under the management and tutelage of Paul Heyman would be a slight to the other women in this locker room.”
After explaining his reasoning for not singling out any one woman on the active roster, Heyman made clear how he felt about Grace specifically. “Jordynne Grace was the choice of 2K, a splendid choice indeed,” Heyman said. “What a magnificent athlete and performer Jordynne Grace is. I’m honored that I have a chance to work with her within WWE 2K26.”
Grace joined WWE’s SmackDown roster after a run in TNA Wrestling, where she was a multiple time Knockouts Champion. She had a run in NXT before being called up to the main roster and feuding with Women’s Champion Jade Cargill.
