One of the reasons WWE fans may not have witnessed Grace at her best is due to the ‘limitations’ placed upon her.
Grace would highlight examples of what she couldn’t do during her WWE match, stating:
“Can’t do any piledrivers, only certain people. They don’t know me like that (laughs).”
“I gotta get some more like credibility under my belt first before I start busting out trapped-arm piledrivers I don’t know.”

WWE producer Hurricane Helms previously addressed Cody Rhodes using the banned Vertebreaker at WWE King & Queen of the Ring.
In 2019, Helms confirmed that WWE had banned the Vertebreaker as part of that regime’s mandate to eliminate “all piledriver type maneuvers except for the Tombstone.”
During Grace vs Perez, the former Dana Brooke made a surprise appearance, with Gail Kim also being spotted at NXT Battleground. Both former WWE stars are currently working for TNA Wrestling.
