Kelani Jordan is the fourth and most recent woman to punch her ticket into the Iron Survivor Challenge at the upcoming Deadline event. She joins Tiffany Stratton, Lash Legend, and Blair Davenport with one spot left.
Jordan defeated Kiana James (who was in last years Iron Survivor Challenge) on the Nov. 28 episode of NXT. Jordan had a little help with a distraction, however. James had hit her 401K on Jordan, but instead of covering her, she went for one final blow but was distracted when the ring bell was rapidly ringing. It was Roxanne Perez with karma as it was James who cost Perez her qualifying match.
James being distracted allowed Jordan to hit the split legged moonsault for the victory.
Moments later, Perez enters the women’s locker room proud of getting back James but enraged just the same. Ava spoke up and said there is still one more chance for Perez to qualify. She stated when she spoke to HBK the other week, he told her that the four women (Perez, James, Thea Hail, and Fallon Henley) who did not win their prior qualifying matches will get one more shot in a last chance match. Perez was confronted by Izzi Dame. Dame says that Perez’s last chance has gone to zero chances because this means James has a last chance also.
Dame and Perez get physical which sets all the women to try and pull them apart before James joins the fight.
The fight wouldn’t stop there either. The last minute or so of the broadcast had the fight spilled into the parking lot where James and Perez would fight with various members of security trying to stop it.
Elsewhere on this week’s NXT, Arianna Grace took on Karmen Petrovic. They showed a video promo of Petrovic before the match. Once again the ring bell came into play for this match. This time it was Joe Gacy who was under the ring who came out and stole the ring bell mid match and ran to the back.
The matched continued with Grace picking up the win. The bell didn’t ring of course until Gacy emerged with it in the crowd as he rang it rapidly as he stood smiling.
The Alpha Academy challenged Meta Four for a six-person match next week. So it will be Lash Legend, Noam Dar, and Oro Mensah taking on Maxxine Dupri, Chad Gable, and Otis.
A backstage interview with NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria took place. She talked about the upcoming Iron Survivor Challenge and how it will give her, her next opponent. Fallon Henley showed up and said if she qualifies next week it would be her to face Valkyria. Lurking in the background behind the curtains was Tatum Paxley who didn’t seem to think that was going to happen and said Lyra would just beat Fallon anyways.
Lastly, Andre Chase finally explained the scandal surrounded by Chase U. Apparently the university is in some serious debt due to gambling. And they owe some people some serious money!
