Kelani Jordan talks WWE NXT, Fort Pierce, Name, Lola Vice, Titus O'Neil, Gymnastics, Michigan State

Video interview with WWE NXT Superstar Kelani Jordan.
A fast-rising, up-n-coming talent, she qualified for the finals of the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament, where she wrestled Lola Vice, another fast-rising, up-n-coming talent in the division.
A battle for South Florida bragging rights, Jordan is a graduate of Boynton Beach High School, and Vice grew up in Miami, an alum of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic High School.
A very good showing by both throughout the tournament with Vice wnning the finals, after a solid, physical contest.
Prior, Jordan defeated Izzy Dame and Ariana Grace. Vice eliminated Dani Palmer and Karmen Petrovic. That led to an All South Florida finale. Says something of the pro wrestling/sports entertainment talent in South Florida.
Blake Howard (Blake Chadwick) is another. After working the indies in South Florida (including Coastal Championship Wrestling) and abroad -- as a commentator, ring announcer and interviewer -- he signed with WWE. There he joined Byron Saxton on commentary for NXT Level Up, which is 10 p.m. Fridays on Peacock. He is also a ring announcer and host at NXT Live house shows (no TV).
The three have appeared on NXT Live house shows at the Havert L. Fenn Center in Fort Pierce, not too far from where their family and friends could conjugate to cheer their respective favorite. Sometimes you just want to cheer the heel, especially when you’re related or know them personally, and they do.
It’s a grand stepping stone to the next level, and their close supporters know that.
Proud is a word that comes to mind when speaking to family and friends about “their” superstar or talent on the show.
NXT Live is at the Havert L. Fenn Center on Saturday, Dec. 16 in Fort Pierce. The Fenn hosted NXT in September with its largest crowd to date there. Up-close-and-personal, fans enjoyed the event, watching the action, vocalizing their opinions/expressing themselves, buying merch, obtaining autographs and taking selfies.
Especially those”babyfaces” competing, part of the main event will take time after to interact with fans.
Originally from Georgia, Jordan moved to South Florida, attending Boynton Beach High School. WWE Superstar / Brand Ambassador Titus O’Neil is from Boynton Beach. Jordan met O’Neil at her WWE tryout in Nashville, bonding through that Boynton Beach connection. In South Florida, she trained at the prestigious American Twisters Gymnastics in Coconut Creek, where she was coached by Gary Anderson and Christy Ramirez. Coconut Creek is also the home base of American Top Team, where Loureda trained in MMA.
Jordan, 25, earned a scholarship to NCAA Division I Michigan State, where she earned CoSIDA Academic All-America Division I At-Large Third Team accolades in 2022, becoming just the second Spartans gymnast all-time to reach CoSIDA Academic All-American status. She was also the recipient of the 2021 Big Ten Conference Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award, becoming the first MSU female student-athlete to receive that honor and only the second Spartan overall. She won 23 career event titles, with 10 on floor, five in the all-around, four on vault, three on bars and one on beam. She is a three-time team co-captain (2020-22), five-time WCGA Scholastic All-America honoree (2018-22), four-time Academic All-Big Ten and Big Ten Distinguished Scholar honoree (2019-22).
Vice and Jordan have come a long way, since training at the WWE PC. They are learning from an exceptional coaching staff and creative unit, under the leadership of Matt Bloom, Sara Amato and HBK Shawn Michaels.
