Kelani Jordan: NXT Thinks I’m A Traitor, But I Wanna Win No Matter What
Kelani Jordan discusses her difficult position as a WWE NXT-contracted Superstar, representing TNA Wrestling at the WWE NXT Showdown.
Kelani Jordan won the TNA Knockouts World Title at TNA Victory Road as Ash By Elegance was forced to reliquinsh the belt. Now, she finds herself awkwardly leading a team of TNA Knockouts at WWE NXT Showdown against the NXT women’s roster, which she’s a proud member of.
Speaking on the Battleground Podcast, Kelani Jordan explained that her competitive nature and desire to win at Showdown overrides the thought from the NXT locker room that she’s a “traitor .”
“One, as TNA Knockouts World Champion, I want to win. So I don’t like losing. I’m competitive. So whether I was on NXT or TNA, I want my team to win. I’ve always been like that my whole life. So it’s not going to change now, that’s first and foremost. Yes, I will say I am aware, though, that I know NXT feels like I’m a traitor. So I know they’re upset at me, but then I also know my teammates are one day gonna want to come for this title, so I have a target on my back, so I’m just gonna be super focused, but also aware of everyone around me, just in case, even Jordynne Grace, now that she’s special guest referee.”
