In 2025, Jordan tasted gold once again when she captured the TNA Knockouts Championship by conquering a battle royal, then Lei Ying Lee at TNA Victory Road. This time around, Jordan still aimed to positively represent the title and the promotion attached to it. In comparison to her first title reign, though, Jordan felt much more comfortable in her position.

“Now I feel like my confidence has grown so much,” she said. “When I won the TNA title, like yes, I still had pressure to carry across brands, but this time I felt like my mindset was like, ‘I’m good. I earned it.’ I worked hard. I go the extra mile. I earned it. It’s no longer the Kelani Jordan that’s like, ‘Oh, yay, woo. I’m happy to be here.’ It’s like, hey, I earned this. I make the title. The title doesn’t make me, and I think that’s where my mindset switched between each title reign.”

While shorter than her run as NXT North American Champion, Jordan’s reign with the Knockouts Championship produced successful defenses over a variety of TNA and WWE talents, including Jordynne Grace, Candice LeRae, Indi Hartwell, and Heather By Elegance. Lei Ying Lee eventually unseated the former Michigan State gymnast at “WWE NXT” Gold Rush when a spinning kick neutralized Grace and allowed Lee to cover Jordan for the win. 

Since Gold Rush, Jordan has yet to receive a rematch for the title despite Lee putting it on the line against “NXT” star Zaria at TNA Genesis.
