Backstage Update on Giulia & Jordynne Grace’s WWE Main Roster Booking Woes Issues Since NXT Call-ups

Giulia and Jordynne Grace’s booking in WWE since their call-ups to the main roster has led to fans being generally upset online over the very stop-and-start creative issues for both and their lack of regular appearances on WWE SmackDown shows.

Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reported in a recent Q&A article that his sources stated that NXT Executive Producer Shawn Michaels was not happy with Gulia and Grace’s match that they had against each other on the May 6, 2025 episode of WWE NXT. Sapp reported that it is currently not known if Michaels’ unhappiness with the match had carried over to the main roster for WWE officials mentality towards both.

Sapp reported that if WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque and/or TKO officials wanted Grace and Giulia to appear on SmackDown, then they would be on the show.

Sapp also reported that Grace had taken a pay cut by signing with WWE and eliminating her other outside ventures. Giulia reportedly is currently making the most money she has ever had in her wrestling career since singing with WWE.

Giulia last wrestled on the July 31st WWE SmackDown show which was a loss to Lash Legend in a Interim WWE Women’s Championship Ladder Qualifier match. Giulia is currently scheduled to be Blake Monroe’s opponent for her SmackDown in-ring debut match.

Grace has been absent from WWE’s SmackDown brand since this past April and last wrestled this past June for WWE Main Event, which was a singles match loss to Kiana James.
