Last night on “WWE NXT,” Fallon Henley, fresh from her big Halloween Havoc win, put her newly-acquired NXT North American Women’s Title on the line against former champ Kelani Jordan. But let’s be honest: this wasn’t just a title defense—it was a barn-burner wrapped in a circus act, with Henley’s “Fatal Influence” friends Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx providing some very hands-on support from ringside.
The two traded moves like champs, with Jordan coming agonizingly close to snatching her title back after hitting a split-legged moonsault. But just as she went for the pin, Jayne swooped in, casually propping Henley’s foot on the bottom rope like it was a Sunday afternoon at brunch. When Jordan caught on, she let Jayne and Nyx know exactly what she thought of the interference by sending them to the floor—dropkicking and superkicking her way through Henley’s entire entourage.
But in a twist as classic as a wrestling mat itself, Jordan’s roll-up attempt was quickly overturned by a timely distraction: a big right hand from Jayne again. With Jordan dazed, Henley swooped in with her finishing move, the Famouser, securing the pinfall and solidifying her title reign.
This win marks Henley’s first successful singles title defense in her career, an accomplishment worth at least a commemorative t-shirt. Meanwhile, Jordan, likely sidelined from title matches for now, may finally have the chance to start a program that’s less “fight-for-the-gold” and more “fight-to-keep-your-balance.”
