Jordynne Grace renewed her IMPACT Wrestling contract earlier this year in May. She explained why she chose to re-sign instead of going to a different promotion.
Thicc Momma Pump sat down with TalkSPORT for an interview and explained that IMPACT Wrestling's lighter schedule was why decided to re-sign over going to WWE or AEW.
She cited WWE's constant training and AEW's weekly shows on the road and late-night AEW Dark tapings as reasons for not considering those options. The former Knockouts champion stated that she isn't in the best place to work a heavy schedule.
"IMPACT [really is] the best place for me. I do not do well, right now at least, with a super heavy schedule and I feel that’s pretty much every other wrestling company that I could have signed with realistically. WWE; training constantly, shows; I feel like that’s a 24/7 job at that point. AEW, they’re on the road on a weekly basis and I know sometimes they film Dark well into the night, 2/3am, something like that. So I just knew IMPACT would let me do power lifting, it’s a much lighter schedule, it’s been once a month. But I also do a part-time job doing transcribing work so I can also do that. I don’t think I’m willing to sacrifice 100 percent of the other stuff I do in my regular life right now. Maybe one day, who knows! Just not today." said Grace.
