Patricia Forrest Gresham (née Parker, born March 5, 1996), better known by her ring name Jordynne Grace, is an American professional wrestler, bodybuilder and powerlifter. She is signed to WWE, where she performs on the NXT brand. Parker rose to prominence during her time in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where she is a three-time TNA Knockouts World Champion, one-time TNA Digital Media Champion (and the first woman to hold the title) and TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion. Upon becoming the inaugural Digital Media Champion, Parker was recognized by TNA as the first Knockouts Triple Crown winner. She has previously also made appearances in Beyond Wrestling, Progress Wrestling, Pro-Wrestling: EVE, and Shine Wrestling.

As a powerlifter, Parker is the World Natural Powerlifting Federation (WNPF) Georgia State & National Records holder in the squat at 320 lb (150 kg), the bench press at 210 lb (95 kg) and the deadlift at 355 lb (161 kg) in the 165 lb weight class.

Patricia Forrest Parker made her professional wrestling debut on September 22, 2012, under the ring name Jordynne Grace. Throughout 2017 and 2018, Grace began tag teaming alongside LuFisto as "Team PAWG" in a number of independent promotions, primarily Beyond Wrestling.

At the All In event, on September 1, 2018, Grace participated in a 19-person over budget battle royale to determine the number one contender to the ROH World Championship, being the only female in the match. Grace was able to eliminate Brian Cage, but was ultimately eliminated by Bully Ray. On October 28, Grace unsuccessfully challenged Jazz for the NWA World Women's Championship on Women's Wrestling Revolution (WWR), as they main evented at the WWR's event WWR vs. The World.

On October 16, 2018, it was reported that Grace had signed a two-year deal with Impact Wrestling. Grace made her Impact! debut on the November 8 episode, as she defeated Katarina. On the January 3, 2019, episode of Impact!, Grace rescued Kiera Hogan as she was attacked by Allie and Su Yung. That led into a tag team match at Homecoming, which they lost as Yung technically submitted Hogan. With Rosemary's return to Impact, Grace teamed with her and Hogan to defeat Allie, Su Yung and The Undead Maid of Honor in the "Dark War".

On the March 15 episode of Impact!, Grace defeated Tessa Blanchard to become the number one contender for Taya Valkyrie's Impact Knockouts Championship. At Against All Odds, which aired on March 29, Grace won by count-out, however, Valkyrie remained the champion as championship titles do not change hands by count-out or disqualification unless stipulated. On April 4, at United We Stand, Grace failed to win the title in a four-way match including Rosemary and Katie Forbes. On the April 9 episode of Impact!, she received another chance to become number one contender for Valkyrie's title by defeating Madison Rayne. On April 28, at Rebellion, Grace was defeated by Valkyrie, failing to win the title. On August 2, at Unbreakable, she teamed with Scott Steiner and Petey Williams to defeat Dicky Mayer, Gentleman Jervis and Ryan Taylor in a six-person tag team match. On October 20, at Bound for Glory, Grace competed in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match, which was won by Eddie Edwards. On January 12, 2020, Grace had another opportunity for the Knockouts Championship at Hard To Kill against Taya Valkyrie and ODB, but Valkyrie retained when she covered ODB.

On January 18 (which aired on tape delay on February 11), she defeated Valkyrie to win the championship. After successfully retaining the title against Havok on February 22 at Sacrifice, Grace declared an open challenge with the Knockouts Championship on the line, which Madison Rayne answered by sending Miranda Alize and Lacey Ryan on the February 25 and March 10 episodes of Impact! respectively, but they failed to beat her. On July 18 at Slammiversary, Grace lost the title to Deonna Purrazzo, ending her reign at 182 days. A rematch was scheduled on August 25 during the second night of Impact's Emergence special, in the first Knockouts 30-minute Iron man match in Impact history, where Grace lost to Purrazzo, two falls to one.

Grace then entered into a rivalry with Tenille Dashwood when she returned on the September 1 episode of Impact!, interrupting her confrontation with Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo during her Black Tie Affair. She lost their first match on the September 22 episode of Impact!, but won the rematch the following week, culminating in a final match and win by Dashwood on October 3 at Victory Road. On the October 6 episode of Impact!, Grace answered X Division Champion Rohit Raju's open challenge for the title and beat him, but he changed the rules so that it was not up for grabs. At Bound for Glory, she competed in a six-way intergender scramble match that involved Chris Bey, TJP, Willie Mack, Trey Miguel and Raju, who won to retain the X Division Championship. At Turning Point, she teamed up with Dashwood in a losing effort against Rosemary and Taya Valkyrie.
