TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace has heaped praise on Roxanne Perez ahead of their upcoming match at the NXT Battleground.

Speaking to PW Insider, Grace acknowledged Perez’s talent, saying: “I think she’s extremely talented.”

The two wrestlers shared the same origin.

“We actually both started when we were 14 years old in Texas. So, we came up in the same circle working the same shows. The only difference is that I had started before,” Grace explained.

Grace noted the magnitude of this matchup, stating, “I know that she loves wrestling just as much as I have, you always see the videos of her At the total diva thing with AJ Lee, like I know that she’s a wrestling fan just as much as I am and I know that she understands the magnitude of what this match could mean for both promotions.”
