WWE Superstar Kelani Jordan has become one of the most popular names in the Stamford-based promotion's developmental show. The star currently holds the TNA Knockouts World Championship and has been putting the title on the line regularly in NXT.
Since dethroning Lei Ying Lee (fka Xia Li) as the TNA Knockouts World Champion, Kelani Jordan has defended her title against multiple opponents in TNA and during several NXT house shows. Her latest title defense came against PJ Vasa on an NXT live event on October 18, 2025, in Dade City, Florida.
We at Sportskeeda send our best wishes to the former NXT Women's North American Champion on her birthday. Kelani turned 26 on October 22, 2025. On this special day, Jordan's partner and current SmackDown star, Carmelo Hayes, took to Instagram to dedicate a post to her. Melo uploaded a picture of Kelani and sent an emotional message in the post's caption.
The former NXT Champion called Jordan a "real-life angel" and wrote that words weren't enough to express how much he loved her. Hayes also addressed her as his "future Wife."
