On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE NXT Women’s North American Champion Kelani Jordan spoke about her journey in the professional wrestling industry.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her path to wrestling: “I have four brothers and I watched wrestling a lot when I was younger. I will say, when I got to about middle school, high school, I didn’t watch the product as much because I was so focused on getting a scholarship, trying to just pursue gymnastics and be the best that I can be at that. But now that I was able to get offered to go to the SummerSlam tryout in 2022 and be able to come down to the Performance Center, I went back … I’m going back and studying, doing the history classes, so that way I can make up for the time that I lost, and also to go back to learn about things that happened before I was even born.”
On still learning in the ring: “I’m still learning how to do different levels of selling depending on who I’m in the ring with. If it’s someone bigger, [I learn] how to sell differently than someone if they’re smaller or the same size as me.”
