Kelani Jordan has shared her goals for a potential WWE main roster call-up, making it clear that she is ready for the next step and already targeting championship gold.
Jordan, who has become a consistent presence on WWE NXT, previously held the NXT Women’s North American Championship and also captured the TNA Knockouts Championship through the WWE and TNA partnership. During an appearance on Busted Open, she spoke about moving to RAW or SmackDown and the opportunities that would come with it.
“I would love to go to the main roster, I would love to be able to be on a bigger platform- but also be able to wrestle girls who are on that next level. I would love that, RAW, SmackDown, I’m ready. Of course, if the NXT Women’s Championship is in my future, that’s great, but if the main roster is next, I have my eyes on the US Championship, the Intercontinental (Championship).”
Jordan also addressed whether she needs to win the NXT Women’s Championship before moving up. She pointed to past examples to show that it is not a requirement.
“I think you can jump over that championship, because we’ve seen girls do it before. Becky (Lynch) was in NXT, she didn’t win the championship, actually when she came back is when she got the championship. There’s also other superstars, like greats, who never won the NXT Women’s Championship, and they’re prospering and thriving on the main roster.”
She referenced Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair as examples of top stars who reached major success without holding the NXT Women’s Championship during their initial runs.
Jordan also made it clear that she is interested in facing Lynch in the ring, praising her in-ring ability and presence.
“I would love to wrestle Becky. Becky is a smooth worker. I just feel like the way that she moves in the ring, her footwork, the way that she can just bring it out of her opponents. When I was fairly new in NXT, I saw her bring it out of Tiffany, I saw her bring it out of Lyra, I would love to just be across the ring from someone who is so passionate, who is so good. Even in promos, she just brings that fire out of you, and I would love that!”
With confidence in her abilities and clear goals in mind, Jordan appears ready for a move beyond NXT, whether that includes chasing titles or stepping into the ring with some of WWE’s top names.
