Kelani Jordan Wins Vacant TNA Knockouts Championship at Victory Road – In a shocking turn of events at TNA Victory Road on Friday, Kelani Jordan captured the vacant TNA Knockouts Championship by defeating Lei Ying Lee in an impromptu title match. The bout came together after Knockouts Champion Ash by Elegance announced earlier in the night that she was unable to compete and had to vacate the championship due to personal circumstances.
Following Ash’s announcement, a sudden battle royal was held to determine the two contenders for the vacant title. Jordan and Lee outlasted the field, setting up a one-on-one clash later in the show with Indi Hartwell serving as the special guest referee.
The match itself delivered high drama. Lee appeared to have the victory secured with a visual pinfall on Jordan, but Hartwell was knocked out during the sequence and unable to make the count. Once Hartwell regained consciousness, Jordan rallied back, hitting a stunner before landing her signature one-of-a-kind moonsault to score the decisive pinfall and win her first TNA Knockouts Championship.
After the match, it was confirmed that Jordan will defend the Knockouts Title against Hartwell at next month’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view, setting up a compelling clash between champion and referee-turned-challenger.
Originally, Ash by Elegance was scheduled to defend the title against Masha Slamovich, with Hartwell acting as special referee. However, Slamovich was pulled from the card following domestic abuse allegations, leading to the last-minute changes that ultimately paved the way for Jordan’s title victory.
