On October 9, 2025, Paradigm Talent Agency made a significant stride into WWE's developmental system by signing Kelani Jordan and Shiloh Hill as their first WWE developmental clients. This move marks a strategic expansion for Paradigm, known for representing top-tier WWE Superstars.
Kelani Jordan: A Rising Star in WWE and TNA
Kelani Jordan, born Lea Mitchell, is a former Michigan State gymnastics standout who transitioned into professional wrestling. Since debuting in WWE's NXT brand, she has quickly become a prominent figure. In 2024, Jordan made history by becoming the inaugural NXT Women's North American Champion. Her momentum continued in 2025 when she won the TNA Knockouts World Championship, making her one of the rare performers navigating both WWE and TNA promotions simultaneously.
Paradigm's Managing Partner, Andrew Ruf, highlighted Jordan's potential, stating, "Kelani and Shiloh represent exactly why we invest early in the Performance Center pipeline."
Shiloh Hill: From College Football to WWE Developmental Talent
Shiloh Hill, born Thunder Justice Keck, is a former Stanford linebacker with degrees in computer science, psychology, and sustainability. After participating in WWE's LFG (Legends & Future Greats) reality series, Hill emerged as the winner of season two, mentored by The Undertaker. His unique blend of athleticism and storytelling has garnered significant attention, with his horror-themed content amassing millions of views and interactions in a short span.
Nick LoPiccolo, head of Paradigm’s Sports Division, emphasized Hill's multifaceted appeal, noting that both talents are "elite athletes but also modern storytellers with charisma, creativity, and audience-building instincts."
Paradigm's Comprehensive Representation Strategy
With the addition of Jordan and Hill, Paradigm Talent Agency extends its 360-degree representation model to WWE's developmental talents. This approach includes WWE contract advisement, long-term brand development, acting opportunities, and intellectual property management. The agency's commitment to nurturing emerging talent positions them as a significant player in the wrestling representation landscape.
Looking Ahead
As Kelani Jordan prepares to defend her TNA Knockouts World Title against Indi Hartwell at TNA's Bound For Glory on October 12, 2025, and Shiloh Hill continues to build his presence in WWE's developmental system, both are poised for breakout success. With Paradigm Talent Agency's support, their futures in the wrestling industry appear promising.
