However, her determination and championship drive would keep her on Taya&#8217;s heels. Every time Taya would think she was past Grace, Jordynne would work her way back into the title picture. Despite any interference that <strong>John E. Bravo<\/strong> would attempt to run on behalf of his mistress as well. Jordynne Grace would defeat <strong>Kiera Hogan<\/strong> and <strong>Madison Rayne<\/strong> during the tapings held on Friday night, which would put her back in Valkyrie&#8217;s path.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The 23-year-old is no stranger to titles, she&#8217;s held seven others in her career thus far.
