NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament Finals Set For 5/31 NXT 2.0
The women’s breakout winner will be crowned on Tuesday.
NXT announced that the finals of the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament between Tiffany Stratton and Roxanne Perez will take place on the May 31 episode of NXT 2.0.
Following the announcement of the official bracket, the first-ever NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament took over Tuesday nights as eight women vied to etch their name in NXT history.
The tournament featured eight rising Superstars looking to make a name for themselves and show the NXT Universe what they’re all about. Even more important, though, is the prize that awaits the winner: the opportunity to challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship.
The inaugural tournament featured new and familiar names such as Nikkita Lyons, Lash Legend, Tatum Paxley and Fallon Henley along with newcomers Roxanne Perez, Kiana James, Arianna Grace, and Sloane Jacobs looking to make an immediate impact.
Action was fast and furious in the opening round matches over the past two weeks as Lyons and Henley punched their ticket to the semifinals on one side of the bracket while Legend and Perez threw down in the other semifinal match. But after suffering an injury in training, Lyons was replaced in the semifinals by Tiffany Stratton who stormed into the semifinals to upset Henley and book a date with Perez in the finals following the rookie’s shocking victory over the colossal Legend.
