A Matter of Time Before Kelani Jordan Appears on WWE RAW or SmackDown

September 17, 2026

Kelani Jordan participated in a Money in the Bank qualifying match at RAW Mexico, but what comes next for the NXT Women’s Champion?

WrestleVotes has weighed in on the matter and confirms that the WWE intends to send her to RAW or SmackDown when her reign in NXT comes to an end. The exact timing remains to be determined.

The idea behind using her in the Money in the Bank qualifiers was to introduce her to the main roster fans for the first time before making her full-time debut. So the upcoming championship matches for Kelani Jordan in NXT are something to watch.

In NXT since 2022

It’s since 2022 that Kelani Jordan joined WWE NXT. She has taken part in numerous storylines and also undergone several character changes over this long period.

Only recently did she stand out by capturing the NXT Women’s Championship for the first time, or by becoming the first North American Champion in history. She also had the opportunity to be the TNA Knockouts Champion thanks to the partnership between the two companies.

Don’t forget that she is engaged to Carmelo Hayes on SmackDown. Sometimes personal relationships can influence where a roster is assigned to facilitate both the professional and personal lives of WWE Superstars.

More news to watch for.
