Jordynne Grace from TNA appeared to be a pleasant surprise on the May 28 episode of WWE NXT and this reportedly marked the beginning of a joint venture between the two companies. Since Vince McMahon is gone from the sol-runner position of the WWE, the new regime has taken over under the TKO banner and they have been exploring multiple collaborations with different wrestling promotions.
