Alright, alright, let’s talk about this… uh… Kelani Jordan, yeah, that’s her name. Don’t know much about fancy wrestlin’, but I heard some things, seen some things on that there TV. They say she’s a wrestler, one of them WWE folks. Young gal, I reckon.
Who is this Kelani Jordan girl, anyway? Well, from what I gather, she’s one of them new wrestlers. They say her real name is Lea Mitchell, born on October 22nd. Don’t ask me the year, I ain’t good with them numbers. She used to be one of them gymnasts, you know, flippin’ and twirlin’ and all that. Then she switched to wrestlin’, guess she got tired of them balance beams or whatever they call ’em.
Now, they tell me she’s pretty new to this wrestlin’ business. Been at it for about 16 months or so, which ain’t long in my book. But seems like she’s doin’ alright for herself. Folks say she’s a “rising star” in somethin’ called NXT. That’s like the… minor leagues, I guess, before they get to the big shows.
- Real Name: Lea Mitchell
- Birthday: October 22
- Used to be a gymnast
- Works for WWE, in somethin’ called NXT
And get this, she just won a big ol’ belt! They call it the NXT Women’s North American Championship. First one ever, they say. So, she must be pretty tough, I figure. Comin’ from Boynton Beach, that’s her hometown. Don’t know where that is, but sounds far from here.
They also say she’s got a fella, or had one, anyways. Carmelo Hayes, another wrestler. But he went off to some other wrestlin’ show, SmackDown they call it, and I guess they ain’t together no more. Young love, it comes and goes like the seasons, you know. Happens to the best of ’em.
Now, if you ask me about her wrestlin’ moves, I can’t tell ya much. I see ’em jumpin’ and slammin’ and pinin’ each other down. Looks rough, I tell ya. But folks seem to like it. They cheer and holler and wave them signs. It’s a whole different world, that wrestlin’ thing.
They got all sorts of stuff they track about these wrestlers. Height, weight, age… like they’re cattle at the market! They even got things called “face/heel turns.” Don’t ask me what that means. And they keep track of all the matches they win, all the “titles” they get. It’s a lot to keep up with, I tell ya.
But this Kelani Jordan girl, she seems to be makin’ a name for herself. From gymnast to champion in just a little over a year? That’s somethin’, ain’t it? She’s got that “background in gymnastics” they talk about, so maybe that helps her with all them flippy moves. And she’s got that “rising star” thing goin’ for her, so people must see somethin’ special.
So, what’s the future hold for this Kelani Jordan? Well, I ain’t no fortune teller, but I reckon she’ll keep on wrestlin’. Maybe she’ll go to that SmackDown show with her fella, or maybe she’ll stay in NXT and win more of them belts. Who knows? It’s her story to write, and seems like she’s just gettin’ started. One thing’s for sure, though: she’s come a long way from them balance beams, and she ain’t afraid to get in the ring and fight for what she wants. That’s somethin’ to admire, I say.
Anyways, that’s all I know about this Kelani Jordan. She’s a wrestlin’ girl, a former gymnast, and a champion. And she’s got a whole lot of fight in her, it seems. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about wrestlin’ has made me hungry!
