In her first test as NXT Women's Champion, Kelani Jordan defended her title against Jaida Parker on Tuesday night's episode of "WWE NXT." Fortunately for her, it proved to be a successful one as well.The champion and challenger kicked off the action with a lock up, which resulted in the latter knocking down the former with a shoulder tackle. When they locked up once more, Jordan escaped and returned the favor by throwing Parker into the mat. After they traded shoves, Jordan then fired off a series of stomps in the corner. In another, Jordan repeatedly drove her shoulder into Parker's midsection. Parker eventually got momentum back on her side by reversing a hurricanrana into a sit-out powerbomb.In the match's closing moments, Parker cinched in her Rings of Saturn submission, only for Jordan to roll back to break it. When Parker set up for a springboard seated senton, Jordan denied her once more and landed a spinning leg drop instead. The defending champion followed with springboard moonsault to the outside. Back in the ring, Jordan then ascended to the top rope, seeking a 450 Splash. Parker rolled out of the way and delivered a Samoan Drop-seated senton sequence in response. Her traction was short-lived, however, as Jordan drove her into turnbuckle, then nailed her with split-legged moonsault for the win.After the match, Wren Sinclair sought revenge on the NXT Women's Champion for recently causing injury to her friend, Kendal Grey. Sinclair aggressively whacked Jordan with a kendo stick until "NXT" officials ran out to separate them. Jordan now looks ahead to "WWE Raw," where a Women's Money in the Bank qualifier, also involving Lola Vice and Raquel Rodriguez, awaits her.
