Kelani Jordan didnt just retain her TNA Knockouts World Championship on WWE NXTshe declared war on the past.
After defeating Jordynne Grace on the October 28th episode of NXT, Kelani shocked the crowd by turning heel. The moment came during a ringside brawl between Ricky Saints and Trick Williams, where Kelani blasted Grace with the Knockouts title, cementing her new attitude. But what happened after the match may have been even more vicious.
Kelani took to Twitter and issued a bold challengenot to just one opponent, but an entire era of TNA royalty. One Knockouts Legend down, whos next?? she wrote.
She followed up by tagging some of the most legendary women in TNA history:
@MickieJames, @gailkimITSME, @RealTSteelz, @theodbbam, @VelVelHoller, @ActualALove, @MeanQueenK.
This wasnt subtle. Kelani dropped a full-fledged hit list, going after icons like Gail Kim, Awesome Kong, ODB, Mickie James, and members of The Beautiful PeopleVelvet Sky and Angelina Love. Three of those namesVelvet, Angelina, and Mickiewere inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame at this years Bound For Glory, making Kelanis timing seem calculated and personal.
The current Knockouts Champ isnt just defending her titleshes rewriting the Knockouts legacy on her terms. While fans saw her represent TNA at Showdown in the Team NXT vs. Team TNA clash, this latest move signals a shift: Kelani isnt honoring the Knockouts lineageshes trying to erase it.
With one legend down and a growing list in her sights, the real question iswill any of these Knockouts step up and shut her down?
