Overview
- Grace appeared at SmackDown in Buffalo in a pre-taped backstage segment that featured WWE Women's Champion Jade Cargill and Charlotte Flair, as PWInsider reported.
- On-air, she was presented as weighing a full-time SmackDown deal after being courted by GM Nick Aldis and she later crossed paths with Cargill.
- Fightful reported she is already on a main-roster-level contract, making the SmackDown appearance effectively her call-up.
- Cargill admitted in an interview segment that she intentionally injured Michin at a live event, which set up a tense confrontation with Grace and later escalated in pointed social media exchanges.
- Her arrival fits WWE's broader plan to elevate NXT names to the main roster to deepen SmackDown, with Trick Williams appearing on the show and Oba Femi and Je'Von Evans also discussed as moves in the works.
