Kelani Jordan surprised fans by winning the NXT Women’s North American Championship at NXT Battleground in the UFC Apex. Her inaugural reign saw her defending the title at Heatwave against another competitor from that match.
Jordan and Sol Ruca went to battle for the NXT Women’s North American Championship. Ruca aimed to regain her momentum after a long injury hiatus, while Jordan was determined to retain her title.
This match showcased both competitors’ gymnastics backgrounds, featuring innovative moves and combinations. Jordan and Ruca pushed each other to new heights, delivering an exciting performance for the Toronto crowd.
Ruca countered a poisonrana into an Alabama slam into the turnbuckle. She then climbed to the top rope with Jordan on her shoulders. This gave Jordan the opportunity to execute a poisonrana from the top, followed by a split-legged moonsault to secure the win.
Kelani Jordan has endured much to claim the NXT Women’s North American Title and is willing to go to great lengths to retain it.
