"I do love me some RVD. He's inspired a lot of my work. If you see my style, a lot of it is inspired after him, and after Rey (Mysterio). I try to add my own style to it, but I do like to pay homage to the greats that came before me," Jordan said on Busted Open Radio.

Asked if she could do a VanTerminator, Jordan replied, "Yes, I definitely could. I don't want to steal everything, but I do like to take some of his stuff. I also want to be innovative and create thing that are Kelani-esque. I definitely think that I can do all of those things. He co-signed me and I got to meet him WrestleMania weekend and he's awesome. I felt that was a co-sign."

Jordan is the reigning NXT Women's North American Champion.
