Congratulations are in order for WWE star Arianna Grace after making history on Friday. Grace is coming off the biggest win of her career.
Things are looking up for Grace after struggling with injuries over the past few years. She’s part of a growing stable in NXT, which is expected to be called “Birthright,” alongside Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, Lexis King and Uriah Connors. They are also trying to recruit Charlie Dempsey into the group.
At TNA Wrestling’s No Surrender, Arianna Grace challenged Lei Ying Lee for the TNA Knockouts World Championship. Grace shocked the world to become the new champion, ending Lei’s reign at just 87 days.
Arianna Grace also became the first woman of South Asian descent to win a major championship in a big wrestling company. So, congratulations to the new TNA Knockouts World Champion.
However, Grace already has to worry about her first challenger. Fellow Canadian star Jody Threat became the No. 1 contender for the TNA Knockouts World Championship after winning at Battle Royal at No Surrender. Threat last eliminated Tessa Blanchard to win the match.
Arianna Grace’s night wasn’t all positive
Despite winning the TNA Knockouts World Championship, Arianna Grace’s night started off on the wrong foot. Grace was in the corner of his boyfriend, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, for his TNA International Championship defense against Trey Miguel.
Miguel earned the opportunity from his Feast or Fired briefcase, which contained a future shot at the TNA International Championship. The former member of The Rascalz overcame a lot to outlast Lorenzo and win his first singles title since his second reign as X-Division Champion.
Despite the loss, Grace pushed through later that night to make history. It will be interesting to see if Grace will defend her new title on NXT or if she’ll become a regular at TNA Wrestling.
It has been an interesting few months for Grace and her new group. There are even rumors that David Finlay could be added once he gets signed by WWE. Finlay is the older son of Fit Finlay and the brother of Uriah Connors.
