Jordynne Grace Wants Her TNA Glory Days in WWE 2K: A Crossover We Didn't Know We Needed?
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
NXT's Jordynne Grace wants her classic TNA matches featured in WWE 2K's Showcase mode, raising the question of whether WWE will embrace wrestling history outside their own brand. It would certainly add an interesting layer of depth for players, especially if some truly classic matches get the nod.
Right, so Jordynne Grace, the absolute powerhouse currently smashing it in NXT, has thrown a rather interesting idea into the wrestling ring: she wants her iconic TNA (now Impact Wrestling) matches featured in WWE 2K's Showcase mode. Now, I know what you're thinking: isn't that a bit like asking for pineapple on your pizza during a Michelin-star dinner? But hold your horses, mate, because this might actually be a stroke of genius.
Speaking to Gaming Bible (cheers to them for the scoop!), Grace mentioned her 2020 Slammiversary match against Deonna Purrazzo and her Bound for Glory brawl with Masha Slamovich as prime candidates. Fair dinkum, those are some cracking matches. But here's the kicker: they're *not* WWE PPVs. So, why the heck would 2K even consider it?
Well, the WWE and TNA have been playing nicely together for a while now, haven't they? (Remember Joe Hendry’s banger theme song?). Plus, TNA legend Abyss *is* already tearing it up in the Dunk and Destruction DLC. It's all a bit… cozy, isn't it? Maybe Vince and co. reckon showcasing TNA isn't such a bad shout after all. Could it be a way of acknowledging the history of women's wrestling outside the WWE bubble?
Think about it: Showcase mode usually sticks to WWE's greatest hits, focusing on storylines and legends that the average WWE fan is familiar with. But adding in some TNA classics? That's a bold move. It'd be like cracking open a portal to another dimension of wrestling brilliance – introducing a whole new generation to the likes of Grace vs. Purrazzo and Slamovich.
Of course, it's easy to get carried away (I'm already picturing AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels making the cut). Let's be real, corporate decisions are rarely made purely for the love of the game (or the sport). But... WWE 2K25 already boasts a massive roster, crammed with current stars, NXT up-and-comers, and legendary icons. A few carefully chosen TNA matches could add a layer of depth and variety that would genuinely surprise and delight fans.
The question isn't whether it *should* happen (because, let's face it, it sounds awesome). It's whether the suits at WWE see the value in celebrating wrestling history beyond their own walls. Are they willing to acknowledge that great matches happen everywhere, not just under the bright lights of WrestleMania? Only time will tell if Grace's wish becomes a reality. But if it does? Bloody hell, that would be something special.
