She’s not feeling pressure and isn’t handing out title shots lightly. She praises Ash by Elegance, crediting her for believing in her early on. Kelani names Lei Ying Lee and Indi Hartwell among her recent opponents and acknowledges Tessa Blanchard, Tasha Steelz, Xia Brookside, and others. She says she won’t be labeled or limited by others’ expectations, saying other "want to see" her do well, but not better than them. She says no one does it like "Lani" and she will continue to succeed. Good character building.
The Elegance Brand look for Mr. Elegance in Edmonton. Ash insults the city, calling it a dump, and insists they leave since “there are no men in Edmonton.” This is going to end up being Tommy Dreamer, isn't it?
