Jordynne Grace’s WWE career is on pause, but she just gave fans a new look at her physique. The SmackDown Superstar posted a mirror selfie where she looks extremely shredded, and she added an update on her food and water intake. “Update after full day of meals + 6L water. I’m lowkey scared,” Grace wrote, which gives a small peek at her current fitness routine. The former TNA Knockouts Champion has been putting time into bodybuilding projects while she’s away, and her last WWE match took place in June 2026.
Jordynne Grace Shows Off Her Shredded Physique While Focusing on Bodybuilding
The selfie lands in the middle of a long break from WWE television. Before WrestleMania 42, The Juggernaut had been in the Women’s United States Championship picture, and a possible match against Tiffany Stratton got discussed. Her last SmackDown appearance was April 17, when she lost to Stratton in a number-one contender’s match, which is the bout that decides who gets the next shot at the title. Grace had been linked to a title opportunity at WrestleMania 42, but an injury scare before the event affected those plans. So she got medically cleared before the show and still wasn’t booked for it.
Later on, Grace worked WWE Main Event, and she also picked up wins over established names during her main-roster run. Her final match was against Kiana James, who beat her in less than six minutes.
Bodybuilding has given Grace another place to compete. She went back to the stage in 2026 and finished second at competition, which got her qualified for nationals. Also, she kept her prep quiet, training for four weeks before telling her husband about the plan just days before she competed.
WWE Has Discussed a Possible Tag Team With Ivy Nile Amid Jordynne Grace’s Extended Absence
Grace’s WWE future has been a topic in backstage reports too. Fightful reported in October that the company had tentative plans to bring her back alongside Ivy Nile, introducing the pairing through vignettes WWE had already filmed during the summer. The working plan, per Fightful, was to start teasing the team in September. The pairing was also believed to be connected to WWE’s trademark filing for the name “Iron Built.” Neither wrestler made the expected return as a team, though.
WrestleVotes had another update in October. During a Q&A session, the outlet said Grace was not part of WWE’s current creative plans.“The thing that I’ve heard recently is she’s not in the creative plans. That doesn’t mean they don’t want plans for her,”JoeyVotes said. The report also pointed to crowded SmackDown women’s division, with limited television time available for the roster. Her absence isn’t believed to be related to the bodybuilding commitments, honestly. Fightful specifically clarified that she’s able to pursue bodybuilding because she’s currently off television.
