Jordynne Grace comments on her decision to sign with WWE
Popular star Jordynne Grace recently explained why she decided to sign with WWE.
Speaking with Zack Heydorn of Sports Illustrated’s The TakeDown, Jordynne Grace was asked why she elected to sign with the promotion as a free agent. She noted that historically, female wrestlers do not have long careers, and she wanted to prioritize financial stability. Grace also shared that she might want to become a mother someday, and it would be nice to be able to retire down the line.
“For me, ultimately, as a woman especially. Historically, we haven’t had the longest careers. Maybe I want to have a kid one day. At some point, no matter who you are, you kind of have to start prioritizing the money and being able to contribute to a 401K and invest in the stock market and all of that real adult stuff. It comes down to, ultimately, six weeks off is great, but I would love to be able to retire one day,” she said. [H/T: Fightful]
