WWE’s NXT brand continues to deliver high-caliber events, and No Mercy 2024 in Denver was no exception, with every title match having a significant place on the card.

In one of the night’s key matches, Kelani Jordan defended her NXT Women’s North American Championship against Wendy Choo. The bout highlighted Jordan’s athleticism and determination as she faced off against Choo’s unconventional in-ring style. Despite Choo’s attempts to outmaneuver her, Jordan retained her title, further solidifying her status as a rising star in the NXT women’s division.

The build-up to this match began during Week 2 of NXT: The Great American Bash on August 6, where Jordan successfully defended her title against Tatum Paxley. After the match, Wendy Choo, who appeared to console Paxley, suddenly attacked her, setting the stage for their rivalry. The following week, Choo ambushed Jordan at ringside during a match, posing with her title. In retaliation, Jordan interfered in Choo’s match the next week, leading to an accidental strike from Lola Vice. Choo, however, capitalized on the chaos to secure a victory with her signature pillow attack, leading to Jordan challenging her to a title match at No Mercy, which Choo accepted.

Wendy Choo, who has undergone a complete transformation with a darker persona, brought a body bag to the ring, symbolizing the high stakes of the match. The contest itself was a back-and-forth battle, with both competitors trading near falls.

The crowd seemed to be behind Choo, possibly anticipating another title change after the NXT Tag Team Titles had already changed hands earlier in the night. The NXT Tag Team Titles had already changed hands prior in the night, with Chase U imploding afterward.

In the end, Kelani Jordan executed one of her flawless moonsaults to secure a clean victory, further establishing herself as a legitimate champion in the eyes of the NXT fans.
