During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan revealed that she still trains with former WWE Superstar and NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler. She also noted that Baszler helps with the aggression that she shows in the ring.

Kelani Jordan stated (via Fightful), “I have Shayna Baszler in my corner, who has been working with me on submissions, still to this day. I’m ready if she tries to pull a sharpshooter or rings of Saturn or whatever she wants. I’ve been training with Shayna, which is a fact.”

She also credited Baszler for helping her in-ring aggression. Jordan continued, “I owe her a lot of credit because she helps me a lot when it comes to my aggression and being very physical in the ring and all the submissions. She’s helped me tremendously. When you see me do a submission and all that stuff, she’s definitely been helping me, and I’m super appreciative of that.”

Kelani Jordan won the WWE NXT Women’s Title last weekend at NXT Heatwave, beating Kendal Grey. She’s set to defend the title against Jaida Paker on next week’s edition of NXT TV.
