Following Jonathan Gresham’s brutal first-round deathmatch against Masashi Takeda at GCW’s Tournament of Survival 11, which left his back severely lacerated and covered in blood, his wife Jordynne Grace has taken a firm stand. The WWE star declared on X.com, “He will NOT be doing this again,” while sharing a conversation with GCW promoter Brett Lauderdale, along with the graphic photo of Gresham’s back, writing that she wasn’t sure who she should “cuss out.”
38-year-old Gresham is widely regarded as one of America’s finest technical wrestlers with a 21-year career that began in 2005. Since then, he has captured several major titles, including the ROH World Championship, ROH Pure Championship, and Progress Unified World Championship. He also won the prestigious wXw 16 Carat Gold Tournament in 2022. A respected pure-style specialist, Gresham continues to freelance after standout runs in ROH and TNA, along with brief appearances in AEW. However, few expected him to begin deathmatch wrestling.
