Sinclair Gets Her Shot as Stone Overrules Jordan

Wren Sinclair will challenge Kelani Jordan for the NXT Women’s Championship at Halloween Havoc after General Manager Robert Stone lifted Sinclair’s suspension and overruled the champion’s refusal to face her on Tuesday’s NXT from the Performance Center in Orlando.

In the first hour, Sinclair owned the gamble that put her in line for the title. She explained that overthinking had held her back for too long, so she disguised herself as AAA star Lady Shani to enter last week’s number one contender’s battle royal, which she won. She offered Lady Shani an apology she admitted she did not mean. Sinclair acknowledged she does not have the biggest name in the division, pointed to losing the WWE Women’s Speed Championship and to Kendal Grey losing the NXT Women’s Championship, and said she needed to step up for Grey and for herself.
