TNA Knockouts champion Kelani Jordan made a recent heel turn in NXT, but don’t accuse her of ducking any challengers. Kelani put in work to defend the title on the live episode of Impact (Nov. 13, 2025), and she also set up another title defense at Turning Point.
First up for Kelani is Heather by Elegance on Impact. The winner will advance to defend against M by Elegance at Turning Point. The Personal Concierge set these plans in motion by sweet-talking Santino Marella.
During the show, Kelani took credit for accepting these matches. She isn’t afraid of competition. The result will be the same with her standing tall as Knockouts champion. Mara Sade, Xia Brookside, and Lei Ying Lee entered the scene to offer an olive branch of peace. TNA is a family, so they welcomed Kelani to the locker room. Kelani rudely declined by throwing shade. She accused them of plotting to take the Knockouts title from her. Jordan considered championship pressure as a privilege. They wouldn’t know anything about that, because none of them have ever won a championship.
Kelani didn’t back down from Heather, despite attempts at outside interference. The Elegance Brand tried to cheat, but it backfired. Kelani took the win on a split-legged moonsault.
That means Kelani versus M for the Knockouts Championship is official for Turning Point on Friday, November 14.
On top of Kelani’s duties in TNA, she also has a Knockouts Championship defense scheduled against Jordynne Grace and Lei Ying Lee at NXT Gold Rush. That’s assuming Kelani gets past M, and there’s no reason why she wouldn’t.
