Kelani Jordan to Defend TNA Knockouts World Title vs. Léi Yǐng Lee & Jordynne Grace at NXT Gold Rush
After bashing Jordynne Grace with the TNA Knockouts World Title to escape with the victory last week, Kelani Jordan responded to her shocking actions on WWE NXT. Kelani explained that when she won the TNA Knockouts World Championship, she was kicked out of the locker room and labeled as a traitor — now she'll do whatever it takes to remain champion.
Earlier in the day, Léi Yǐng Lee took to social media to address Kelani's change of heart, and promised to bring honor back to the TNA Knockouts World Title.
@kelani_wwe You brought shame to the Knockouts Title.

I’m bringing the fight.
And I’m taking back the honor. #KnockoutsDivision #FightForHonor

Following a heated confrontation, Kelani Jordan battled the winner of WWE LFG Season 1, Tyra Mae Steele. Kelani did not hesitate to bend the rules once again and won the match with her signature split-legged Moonsault.

Much to her dismay, Kelani was then informed by Director of Authority Santino Marella that she must defend the TNA Knockouts World Championship against both Jordynne Grace and Léi Yǐng Lee in a Triple Threat Match at NXT Gold Rush, the two-week special event on November 18 and 25.
Meanwhile, Joe Hendry and Thea Hail crashed the Muy Grande Championship Celebration of the new AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions, Ethan Page and Chelsea Green. Hendry and Hail would lay claim to the AAA Mixed Tag Team Titles at NXT Gold Rush.
For the first time since 2017, Open Fight Night returns this Thursday at 8/7c on TNA+ around the world, AXS TV in the US, and Sportsnet in Canada. Anyone can make a challenge, and everyone must accept!
