Uh oh!!!!! Little bit of Drama on the bus 😳
— Arianna Grace (@AriannaGraceWWE) February 25, 2025
Like cmon girls, we literally JUST got here!
Not exemplary behavior but that’s why I am here; my job as Miss NXT is to help diffuse any drama in the locker room. 😇#wwe #wwenxt #cincinatti #missnxt #drama #girlfight pic.twitter.com/XrVgwywKIa

.@roxanne_wwe and @JordynneGrace are not holding back! 😲#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/OTbBThFiw2
— WWE (@WWE) February 26, 2025
Jordynne Grace makes her way to the ring.
Grace says from the moment she set foot in a WWE ring, she knew she belonged. She was an outsider with the weight of a company on her shoulders. In the locker room, she felt the hunger and she knew she had to be a part of it. When the time came to put pen to paper, she didn’t hesitate. She had one thought and goal. To become a champion in the best women’s division in the world. The last time she was in the ring, she was between two women like we have never seen before. She says Stephanie and Guilia felt the ground shake and the foundation has started to crack. It is a matter of time before she is in the ring, not standing next to them, but across from them.
Roxanne Perez interrupts and she says she wanted to be the first to welcome her back. She says any female who wants to be a big star knows that NXT is where to be. Everyone wants to be part of the division she made famous. Perez says it is one thing to be on top of the Knockouts Division. Big fish in a small pond. You are in her world now and you don’t get to call the shot for her title.
Grace asks Perez if this is her division, where is her title?
Perez asks if Grace means the title Grace couldn’t beat her. She says she doesn’t want to have to send Grace back to TNA. There is a gap between them. Perez says she is going to win the Elimination Chamber and then she will become the World Champion at Wrestlemania. Maybe she will become a three time NXT Champion and they can call her Roxie Two Belts. (the crowd does the obligatory chant to respond)
Grace says everyone has a plan until . . . Grace hits Perez and gets her on her shoulders but Perez escapes.

Backstage: No Quarter Catch Crew, The Hardy Boyz

Backstage: Jaida Parker
Sarah is with Jaida Parker and she asks about what happened on the bus.
Jaida says Jordan has the right idea but did the wrong thing. She lost her mind when she lost the title. When it comes to her opportunities, she does not play. Karmen blew the chance that should have been hers. There might a HIM on Smackdown, but you are not HER.
