TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace was stunned when she learned that she'd be in the WWE Women's Royal Rumble match and that she'd walk down the aisle.

Grace was the #5 entrant in last weekend's match, which marked her in-ring debut for WWE. The TNA Knockout lasted over 19 minutes in the match before being eliminated by 2021 Rumble winner Bianca Belair. Grace shared a hug (before trading fists) with Naomi, who recently left TNA and returned to WWE during the Rumble match.

During the post-Royal Rumble press conference, WWE CCO Paul 'Triple H' Levesque shared his gratitude to TNA for allowing them to use Grace for the match. In a video shared by TNA's Twitter account, Grace explained how her surprise appearance came together.

"Scott called me, I'd actually just landed from our tapings that we did in Orlando. And I was waking up and he called and he was like 'Oh, how do you feel about wrestling this weekend?' And I was just there thinking to myself 'Oh my God, what does he want me to do?'

"And he was like 'How do you feel about being in the Rumble?' And I was like 'What? What are you talking about?' And he just said 'Yeah, how do you feel about being in the Rumble?' Did they ask? And he would go 'No, they didn't ask. I just want you to be there and jump the barricade.' And honestly, that was more realistic to me than WWE calling TNA and being like 'Can your Women's Champion be in our Royal Rumble?'"
