Kelani Jordan was inspired by Rob Van Dam.
Kelani Jordan has managed to standout with her athleticism, using her gymnastics background and bringing it to the world of wrestling.
"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.
