Kelani Jordan reached the pinnacle of the WWE NXT women’s division on Sunday night. She overcame Kendal Grey in a high-stakes match at Heatwave to claim the NXT Women’s Championship.
In the contest held at the WWE Performance Center on April 28, 2026, in Orlando, Florida, Jordan took advantage of a missed opportunity by Grey. She drove Grey into the turnbuckle when Grey was on the apron, setting up a flawless split-legged moonsault to secure the victory.
Throughout the intense match, Grey made several attempts to secure the win. She executed an avalanche reverse Spanish Fly and even delivered a powerful knee strike to Jordan. Yet, determination drove Jordan to persevere and claim her first title in the NXT women’s division.
Jordan, who previously held the NXT Women’s North American Championship and the TNA Knockouts Championship, displayed her resilience and skill. Despite past setbacks, such as losing the North American title in a gauntlet match at Halloween Havoc 2024, and TNA Knockouts title at NXT Gold Rush, she remained focused and driven.
Her gymnastics skills played a crucial role in overcoming Grey’s wrestling prowess. Finally getting her opponent one-on-one allowed her to capitalize on the moment and secure the championship.
