Paul Heyman recently praised Jordynne Grace as "a magnificent athlete and performer" during an interview about WWE 2K26's MyRise story mode. The SmackDown superstar is featured in a storyline where she is managed by Heyman in the game.
In an interview with VGC, Heyman was asked about the possibility of having a "Paul Heyman girl" on the current WWE roster. He declined to single out any specific performer out of respect for the women's locker room.
I'm a big fan of Jordynne Grace, who 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," Heyman explained.
Heyman Calls Grace a 'Splendid Choice'
As he explained his reasoning, Heyman concluded with high praise for Grace and her inclusion in WWE 2K26.
Jordynne Grace was the choice of 2K, a splendid choice indeed. 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 was recently promoted to the SmackDown main roster alongside Lash Legend and Trick Williams at NXT New Year's Evil in January this year. She spent a year on NXT before her call-up.
The superstar recently suffered an ankle injury during a dark match at SmackDown on March 6th and has been seen wearing a walking boot. Despite the injury, Grace has been involved in storylines with Chelsea Green and WWE Women's Champion Jade Cargill on SmackDown.
