6 Mar
Summary
- Jordan trains with former UFC fighter Shayna Baszler.
- The match is an underground fight with no ropes.
- Vengeance Day event is in Orlando, Florida.

NXT performer Kelani Jordan is undergoing specialized training with former UFC fighter Shayna Baszler in preparation for her impending underground match against Lola Vice at Vengeance Day. This unique bout will feature a ring without ropes, transforming it into an MMA-style contest where victory is achieved through knockout or submission.
Jordan sought Baszler's expertise to counter Vice's legitimate MMA background and taekwondo-based striking. Baszler, a former NXT Women's Champion, has been teaching Jordan submission techniques and offensive strategies, emphasizing practical counters for Vice's anticipated moves. This mentorship aims to equip Jordan for the physical demands of the underground format.
The rivalry between Jordan and Vice has escalated, stemming from past NXT Breakout Tournament finals and personal locker room conflicts. Jordan expressed a desire for vengeance, bolstered by her training with Baszler and a previous submission victory over Vice. Vengeance Day is scheduled to be broadcast from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
