Paul Heyman praised Jordynne Grace’s ring work and upward trajectory, and called WWE’s women’s division the most stacked in wrestling—but that ranking was his opinion, not a measured finding. The comments came in a March 2026 interview about WWE 2K26’s fictional MyRISE story, where Grace is presented as WWE Women’s Champion and Heyman represents her. They do not establish a corresponding WWE television storyline.
What Heyman said about Jordynne Grace
In an exclusive interview published by The Sportster on March 25, 2026, and syndicated by Yardbarker, Heyman said he had no objection to 2K choosing Grace for the game’s story. As quoted in the syndication, he said: “I had absolutely no objection because I am a huge fan of Jordynne Grace, not only of where she is right now, but of her trajectory being towards the top of the women’s division of WWE.”

He also praised her in-ring ability, calling her “damn near flawless inside the ring” and describing her as a current and future box-office attraction. Those are Heyman’s assessments of Grace, not a formal WWE announcement or an independently measured evaluation.
His “most stacked” claim was an opinion
Heyman said, “We have, in my opinion, the most stacked women’s division in the history, not just of WWE, but in all of professional wrestling, sports entertainment, or even mixed martial arts.” The qualifying phrase matters: he presented this as his view. The interview offered no statistic or comparative ranking to establish it as an objective finding.

His praise was broad, but his comments about emerging talent were more guarded. Asked about performers outside the main roster, Heyman described a “hyper-competition” to get noticed and declined to name a particular prospect. He likened naming one to giving a stock tip: he wanted to be sure it was the right choice, and said talent had to rise above others in its proving ground.
How the remarks relate to WWE 2K26
The interview’s setting was WWE 2K26’s MyRISE arc, not a report about a new television pairing. In the game storyline, Grace is presented as WWE Women’s Champion and Heyman represents her. That fictional setup explains why he was asked about working with Grace; it should not be treated as evidence that the same role or relationship existed on WWE television.

A separate March 25 report by SEScoops, covering a VGC interview, quoted Heyman saying: “Jordynne Grace was the choice of 2K, a splendid choice indeed. What a magnificent athlete and performer Jordynne Grace is. I’m honored that I have a chance to work with her within WWE 2K26.” This is a separate interview quote, rather than part of the The Sportster/Yardbarker interview.

WrestleZone reported on April 28, 2026, that Grace wanted a real WWE storyline with Heyman and that the two had not crossed paths on WWE television as of that report. That is a dated account, not confirmation of their on-screen status in October 2026.
