Fallon Henley made a bit of NXT history on tonight’s episode. Henley competed against Sloane Jacobs in the very first match of the Women’s NXT Breakout tournament and came out victorious.
Henley had some support at ringside as she competed against Jacobs, the youngest competitor in the tournament. The match didn’t get long before Fallon secured the 1-2-3.
Before the bout took place, all competitors in the tournament came out on the entryway as they were officially introduced to the Capitol Wrestling Center. The tournament sure has some name value as Nikita Lyons, Arianna Grace, Lash Legend and Roxanne Perez are all participants.
It was Lyons who was the next in action as she competed against Arianna Grace (Bianca Carelli, daughter of Santino Marella) and Grace fought pitbull vicious as she worked the arm of Lyons, but Nikitia came on top with a roundhouse kick and a split-legged leg drop. It will be Fallon Henley vs. Nikita Lyons in the semi-finals of the tournament.
WWE has also released the official bracket, which sees first-time matchups like Nikita Lyons vs. Arianna Grace (Bianca Carelli) Roxanne Perez vs. Kiana James, and Fallon Henley vs. Sloane Jacobs. You can see a full breakdown of the bracket below.
