Kelani Jordan Discusses How Roxanne Perez and Lyra Valkyria Helped ‘Her A Lot’ In The Ring

Kelani Jordan discusses the wrestlers that have helped her a lot in the ring, naming the likes of Roxanne Perez and Lyra Valkyria.

Jordan, like several athletes that have transitioned to the wrestling industry, has taken to the sport in a way that has shown off her natural ability, but for the current NXT Women’s Champion, she credits several of her former fellow NXT roster members and her coaches for her development.

While speaking to Kron 4 in a new interview, Kelani Jordan was asked who she has learned the most from in the ring.

“Yeah, so besides, of course, the coaches here at the Performance Center, we have amazing coaches, and Coach Smiley helped me a lot beginning off. But some of the talent that helped me a lot, of course, Melo helped me a lot in the ring. Not just, like, actual rings, but also just brain, like, getting my brain right for what we do. But Roxy (Roxanne Perez) helped me a lot in the ring. Lyra (Valkyria) would train with me a lot in the ring, especially when I was first starting off, and we all were here in NXT.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Kelani spoke about how much she still looks up to Bianca Belair. You can read more about that here.
