Your winner and new TNA Knockouts Champion Kelani Jordan!
It will be Kelani Jordan vs. Indi Hartwell at Bound for Glory.
They worked super hard here and put together a good match in front of an audience that had no reason to really invest to start. Jordan is a hell of a talent and is going to be a star unless something stupid happens. Lee has always been underutilized in her WWE run so it was nice to see her get a nice, long bout to show what she can really do. I enjoyed this.
Ash by Elegance met Jordan at the stage and hugged her and congratulated her.
The Knockouts Tag Team Championship bout tonight has been pushed back to this Thursday's TNA Impact, so they will tape it tomorrow.
