WWE NXT Women’s North American Champion Kelani Jordan recently appeared on Busted Open Radio to talk about a number of topics including how she learned how to show emotion and sell during matches from WWE Hall of Famer and NXT executive Shawn Michaels.
Jordan said, “It’s very difficult.” “I’m still learning how to do different levels of selling depending on who I am in the ring with. If it’s someone bigger, how to sell differently than if they are smaller or the same size.”
“Someone I really study selling on is Shawn Michaels. I feel like he’s the best seller. I do watch a lot of his matches. I watch a lot of his matches early on. Coach Smiley is the one, when I was very new, he was like, ‘Watch these matches. You’ll be ahead of the game.’ I studied Shawn Michaels, head to toe, watching selling specifically.”
