At WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2026, Kelani Jordan defeated Wren Sinclair to retain the NXT Women’s Championship.

Then just a few days later, Jordan retained the title in one of the biggest wins of her career over first ever NXT Women’s Champion Paige.

Looking at the NXT women’s division, there could be any number of stars who step up to challenge Kelani in the coming weeks and months.

Here are four potential Kelani Jordan next WWE NXT Women’s Championship challengers.

Izzi Dame

At WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2026, Izzi Dame defeated ZARIA in a non-title match.

While she is now in line for a shot at the NXT Women’s North American Championship, Dame might want to take aim at a bigger prize on the brand.

Since Dame has already been Women’s North American Champion, it might make more sense to see Izzi go after the NXT Women’s Championship.

Despite both women being heels, Kelani Jordan facing off with Izzi Dame could be an intriguing title bout in the near future.

Kali Armstrong

Since arriving on WWE NXT, Kali Armstrong has been wanting to become a champion on the brand.

“The Statement Maker” is someone who is no stranger to championship gold, being the first ever Evolve Women’s Champion.

However, Armstrong has been unable to capture gold despite getting her fair share of opportunities.

Kali going after Kelani Jordan’s WWE NXT Women’s Championship would be intriguing to watch unfold and see if “The Standout” could survive this threat.

Lizzy Rain

After making her debut on WWE NXT, Lizzy Rain has been someone that fans have been watching as a potential face of the women’s scene on Tuesday nights.

With her rockstar persona and hard hitting style in the ring, Rain could be a formidable challenge for Kelani Jordan’s reign.

Jordan has proven herself to be a more than capable champion and someone who will not back down from every challenge.

With Rain having never gotten a chance at the top prize on the NXT brand up to this point, “The Maiden of Metal” could give Kelani a fresh new matchup for the NXT Women’s Championship moving forward.

Kendal Grey

At WWE NXT Heatwave 2026, Kelani Jordan defeated Kendal Grey to win the NXT Women’s Championship.

Ever since this loss, Grey has been dealing with an ear injury and vertigo that made her lose her confidence.

After being attacked by Jordan during her feud with Wren Sinclair, it might be time for WWE to place Grey back in the title picture.

Grey being next in line to challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship should offer another show-stealing bout with Jordan down the road.
