Former TNA Wrestling star named Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair as her dream opponents

Jordynne Grace officially signed a contract with WWE this year. She even had a strong showing in the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble bout. Grace has joined NXT and is quickly rising through the ranks.

In a recent interview with WWE Deutschland, the former TNA star named Ripley and Bianca Belair as her dream opponents in the Stamford-based promotion.

"[Rhea Ripley?] You know, you have to say that, right? I feel like I have to say that. Bianca [Belair] is a very, very close second, though. I feel like she's so insanely athletic," Grace said.

Presently, Belair and Ripley are engaged in a heated feud and it seems they are going to face each other in a Triple Threat match for IYO SKY's Women’s World Championship. In a shocking twist, SKY dethroned Ripley on the RAW after Elimination Chamber.

With WrestleMania just a month away, Ripley’s storyline has become more engaging than ever. It will be interesting to see what's next for her.
