' Kelani Jordan pushes champion to the limit Challenger Kelani Jordan brought her A-game to Tampa's Yuengling Center. Having secured the title shot by defeating Ruca's partner Zaria, Jordan came inches away from claiming the championship. She landed multiple Frog Splashes, nearly scoring three quick pinfalls in a row. A Spanish Fly from the top rope added to the near-falls, but Ruca refused to back down. Their chemistry was on full display, with both Superstars countering and striking in rapid succession.
