Lei Ying Lee Breaks Her Silence After Winning the TNA Knockouts Championship on NXT

Lei Ying Lee shocked the entire wrestling world on the November 25 episode of WWE NXT when she walked out with the TNA Knockouts Championship after beating Jordynne Grace and Kelani Jordan in a wild triple threat. The match was nonstop chaos from the opening bell, with Grace overpowering everyone in sight, Kelani bringing the speed and high‑risk offense, and Lee refusing to stay down even when she was getting swarmed.

The finish flipped the whole situation on its head. Grace looked seconds away from retaining until Kelani yanked her out of the ring. Lee saw the opening, dove on it instantly, and pinned Kelani to walk out with the Knockouts Championship in the middle of WWE programming. It was one of the most surreal title changes ever broadcast on NXT and the biggest breakout moment of Lee’s career.

Now she’s speaking out for the first time—and the update says everything about how personal this win truly is. On November 26, Lei Ying Lee took to Twitter and put her raw emotions into words:

“Last night the world finally saw it — my moment, my fight, my first-ever title.
