Jordynne Grace Admits WWE’s Talent Pool Fuels Her Deepest Insecurity

Jordynne Grace may be one of the most decorated powerhouses in women’s wrestling, but even she’s not immune to self-doubt—especially now that she’s stepped into WWE’s talent-rich system.

Speaking with Cameron Hawkins of Uncrowned, Grace opened up about the mental shift that’s come with trading TNA dominance for WWE’s hyper-competitive environment. After challenging for the NXT Women’s Title at Stand & Deliver and again at Battleground, Grace reflected on how deep the WWE roster truly is—and how that depth is affecting her confidence.

“The insecurity that I have with being placed at the front now is that the talent pool is so deep and diverse. I can work as hard as I want and be the best wrestler that I want to be. I feel like some of these NIL athletes were born with something that maybe I wasn’t.”

Grace specifically pointed out WWE prospect Bayley Humphrey as a source of that internal pressure. While Grace has built her career through grit and consistency, Humphrey represents a new breed of elite athlete that’s hard to compete with on pure physicality alone.

“Someone like Bayley Humphrey — I can lift my heart out, and I probably will never be as strong as someone like that. She is an absolute monster.”

Rather than dismissing her competition, Grace is acknowledging the real difference between years of earned muscle and raw, natural athleticism—something the WWE Performance Center is now cultivating with its NIL program. While her success in TNA came from being stronger and more experienced than most of her opponents, she now finds herself surrounded by athletes who were built for this from day one.

It’s a rare moment of vulnerability from someone who rarely shows cracks, and it proves that even top-tier stars aren’t immune to the mental weight that comes with leveling up.
