Kelani Jordan, despite her protest, will be defending th TNA Knockouts World Title at NXT Gold Rush.
On the Nov. 4 episode of NXT, Jordan took to the mic. She said she wasn’t going to be a champion like Tatum Paxley, handing out opportunities. Even at NXT Gold Rush, coming later this month as a two week event, she says she will be home and not defending her title. She adds that there isn’t a woman in NXT or TNA that is on her level. This is after she successfully has defended against Jordynne Grace and received a challenge by TNA’s Lei Ying Lee.
Jordan would go on to have a match later in the night against Tyra Mae Steele. Despite her win over Steele, the TNA Director of Authority, Santino Marella, confirmed that Jordan will defend the title, at Gold Rush in a triple threat. It will be against both Jordynne Grace and Lei Ying Lee.
Gold Rush will air on both Nov. 18 and Nov. 25. The Nov.25 episode will be pre-taped. This is the third women’s title match confirmed for the two week event. A new Women’s Speed Champion will be crowned and Blake Monroe will be challenged in her first title defense of the Women’s North American Title against an opponent to be determined.
