TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace has explained a lack of teased surprises on TNA Slammiversary.
Grace had spoken with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated for an article published on Thursday. In it, she stated:
The surprises are going to be even bigger than people realize. TNA and NXT do surprises better than any other promotion. I don’t think anyone can argue that.
A global outage of Microsoft-run software began on Friday and ran into the weekend. The issue, which originated from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, grounded flights, disrupted health services, crashed payment systems and blocked access to many other IT services.
In response to a post on X bemoaning the lack of surprises, Grace responded:
Never said this, but do apologize for the lack of surprise – could have never predicted a global tech outage cancelling thousands of flights. Several wrestlers, including my husband, could not make it.
I regret trying to hype the show with that statement, sorry guys! 🫠😬 https://t.co/MwNk90CRaw

In a further post, she added:
Management worked so hard to make sure as many people made it as possible! So much time and expense. A dozen wrestlers drove 12+ hours overnight. Nightmare travel situation before such a big event.
