As the WWE - TNA partnership continues, the reigning women's champion of the latter promotion also dubbed as the Knockouts Champion will be back on WWE TV, next week to put her title on the line against an unnamed opponent.

On the latest episode of NXT, a taped message aired from the TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace as she proceeded to issue an open challenge for her world title in one of the five matches announced for next week.

The announcement comes just 48 hours after Grace took to her Twitter/X handle, and quoted WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H's famous catchphrase, "Time to play the game," indicating that she could be WWE-bound, again.

After a one-off appearance during the 2024 women's Royal Rumble match, The Juggernaut of the TNA roster showed up on WWE TV on the May 28 edition of NXT and then made a successful in-ring debut, a week later.

Moving on, Grace also faced Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women's Title at the Battleground premium live event and came up short but indications were clear that she would be back for more WWE appearances, shortly.

More presence of TNA stars on NXT will be there, next week as Zachary Wentz & Trey Miguel of The Rascalz will be challenging Nathan Frazer & Axiom for the NXT Tag Team titles.

Pete Dunne & Trick Williams will also battle in a Last Man Standing match on next week's NXT, with the winner getting a shot at Ethan Page's NXT Championship. This comes after Dunne vs. Williams ended in a count-out, last night.

The title match opportunity will be reserved for NXT's premiere on the CW Network set for the October 1 episode. Meanwhile, the September 10 episode of the show is coming with the following matches:

• Jordynne Grace defends the TNA Knockouts World Championship in an open challenge
• WWE NXT Tag Team Champions Nathan Frazer & Axiom defend against The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz)
