History was made last night at NXT Battleground as Kelani
Jordan became the inaugural NXT Women’s North American
title, winning a ladder match which also involved Sol Ruca,
Jaida Parker, Michin, Fallon Henley, and Lash Legend.

The 25-year-old has been signed to WWE for just a year and
is an accomplished former collegiate gymnast who competed
for Michigan State University.

She made her NXT debut last June at NXT: Gold Rush as a
protégé of Dana Brooke.

“First-ever. History made at #NXTBattleground… and we’re
just getting started,” wrote NXT’s Shawn Michaels as he
posed with the new champ backstage. “Congratulations to
@kelani_wwe. You EARNED this moment.”
