WWE NXT powerhouse and former TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace is officially making her video game debut as a playable character in WWE 2K25, joining the game’s upcoming Fearless Pack DLC, which releases July 23rd. The pack includes Grace alongside a unique mix of iconic and unconventional names such as Bull Nakano, Penta, ECW Oriignal New Jack, and a Prime bottle version of KSI.
In an exclusive interview with PWInsiderElite.com earlier this week, Grace admitted that she didn’t even know she’d made the cut until after the announcement was public. “You know what’s funny is it’s almost a little bit cooler that I found out that way,” she shared. “I signed at the beginning of February, and so I was like, there’s no way they’re gonna be able to put me in the game. And then they kind of—it was almost like last second that they did it. I was just very, very surprised.”
For Grace, the addition to WWE 2K25 represents more than a character skin—it’s a milestone. “This is what being a WWE Superstar is all about. Getting to WWE is the first goal, and then within WWE there’s all these milestones that you want to hit. And being in 2K is one of those ones.”
While Grace herself doesn’t game much due to her WWE schedule, her family does. “My family members play a lot and they’re very excited to be able to play as me,” she laughed.
Grace’s inclusion in the Fearless Pack places her alongside some of the industry’s most revered and rebellious names—an honor she doesn’t take lightly. “Oh, [Bull Nakano]’s amazing. She’s a trailblazer… to be alongside her in this pack is extremely special,” Grace said. “I’m in there with some real badasses, you know—Penta, New Jack, Bull. It’s really incredible.”
She also praised WWE 2K25’s groundbreaking decision to introduce intergender wrestling for the first time in franchise history. “It’s even harder now because we can’t just limit it to the women… I think it’s the first year they’re doing that, and I know the fans have been asking for it for a long time.”
As for dream tag team partners in the game? Grace didn’t hesitate to shout out a legendary duo. “Honestly… the Motor City Machine Guns. I feel like both Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley are incredible wrestlers and such great tag team wrestlers. If I was in there with either one of them, they would just be able to tell me exactly what to do and we’d just be amazing together.”
Grace, who recently competed at WWE’s all-women Evolution event, spoke with pride about the show’s significance. “There’s just so many amazing women that were at that show… that blazed the trail for us. I think every woman on that card went out there with something to prove—and honestly, I think we proved it.”
While some have called for Evolution to become an annual fixture, Grace sees both sides. “I think it makes it a little bit more special if it’s just when it’s needed… but I wouldn’t mind if it was every two or three years. I think seven years is kind of a long time.”
Since making the jump from TNA to WWE, Grace has leveled up her presentation in every way—gear, makeup, and mindset included. But it hasn’t been without pressure. “I feel like in NXT, I’m almost like a shark in a fish tank,” she explained. “I just have to keep kind of transforming and keep leveling up. There’s so many amazing women in there… I always want to be on top.”
When asked about dream opponents in WWE for potential 2K25 or future real-life showdowns, Grace listed a few names fans will no doubt fantasy book. “I’d love to wrestle Rhea [Ripley]… I’d also love to wrestle Nia Jax because I don’t often get to fly around or show my athleticism in that kind of way, but I feel like Nia would be a great person to do it with.” She added, “I’ve always wanted to wrestle Bayley, too.”
As for why fans should download the Fearless Pack? Grace kept it simple: “We have me, of course. And we have Penta… and the KSI as a Prime bottle, which is, uh, if you wanna wrestle with the Prime bottle, that’s very fun. But I just feel like this pack is what it says it is—it is the Fearless Pack. So if you want to be fearless and you want to wrestle like you're fearless, you have to download this pack.”
The WWE 2K25 Fearless Pack DLC becomes available on July 23rd across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and other platforms. Fans can follow Jordynne Grace’s WWE journey on NXT TV weekly on the CW Network.
