Kelani Jordan wins WWE Speed debut

Two NXT wrestlers clashed on WWE Speed today as a new number one contender’s tournament began.

Kelani Jordan and Wren Sinclair made their Speed debuts by facing off against each other, and it was Jordan who advanced to the next round. With the three-minute time limit on Speed, both competitors wrestled with urgency. Jordan wiped out Sinclair with a moonsault to the outside within the first minute. As the match neared its end, Sinclair got a two count with a double underhook butterfly suplex. She then position Jordan on the top rope, but Jordan punched Sinclair to the mat and connected with a 450 splash for the victory.

The Jordan vs. Sinclair match was taped at SmackDown last Friday and can be watched below:

Next Wednesday (May 14) on Speed, the number one contender’s tournament continues with Maxxine Dupri vs. Ivy Nile. The winner of that match will then face Jordan to determine who gets the first shot at new WWE Speed Women’s Champion Sol Ruca.

Ruca is the second-ever WWE Speed Women’s Champion, winning the title last month from inaugural champ Candice LeRae. Ruca also currently holds the NXT Women’s North American Championship.
