Kelani Jordan Receives John Cena Classic Invite On WWE NXT

Kelani Jordan is the first female invitee to the John Cena Classic, getting her invitation on this week’s episode of WWE NXT. Cena approached Jordan in a backstage segment on Tuesday night’s show, extending the invitation and telling her that it was time her skills were seen on a bigger stage. He gave her the invitation briefcase that has been given to other invitees.

Jordan joins Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno as NXT talent invited by Cena on Tuesday’s show. Zilla Fatu was invited from NXT on last week’s show.
