The Oct. 17 episode of NXT officially moved us forward in the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament.
After two more first round matches, we know that Arianna Grace will face Kelani Jordan while Karmen Petrovic will do battle with Lola Vice. Both Grace and Petrovic advanced on this week’s show. This was also Petrovic’s NXT debut match (she has performed on NXT Level Up).
Petrovic’s opponent was another debut in that of Jaida Parker.
The final moments of the match had Petrovic deliver a roundhouse kick to the back followed up with a Code of Silence type submission. Parker tapped out. Petrovic’s mother was in the audience celebrating her win.
The other first round match was between Arianna Grace and the debuting Brinley Reece. Reece took the spot of Jakara Jackson who was reported to not be medically cleared. Grace as her new Miss. NXT gimmick attempted to take her “bye” because of Jackson being out but Reece cut off that idea.
The final moments of this match had Reece lifting Grace onto her shoulders but Grace raked the eyes without the official seeing it. Grace then countered and pinned Reece to advance.
Both semi-final matches will be taking place next week on night one of Halloween Havoc hosted by Shotzi and Scarlett.
