Semifinals set for WWE NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament

The semifinals are now set for the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament.

Karmen Petrovic and Arianna Grace both advanced on Tuesday’s show. As a result, Petrovic will face Lola Vice in the semifinals, while Grace will face Kelani Jordan. Both semifinal matches will take place next week on the first night of NXT’s Halloween Havoc.

Petrovic defeated Jaida Parker by submission, while Grace defeated Brinley Reese by pinfall. Petrovic, Parker, and Reese all made their NXT TV debut on Tuesday.

Originally, Grace was set to face Jakara Jackson. However, NXT announced Monday that Jackson was not medically cleared, and instead Reese would be taking her place. A skit with the rest of Meta-Four aired on Tuesday’s show to explain Jackson’s absence.

This is the second year in a row that NXT has held a Women’s Breakout Tournament. On last week’s NXT, however, Cody Rhodes announced that a Men’s Breakout Tournament would betaling place after the Women’s tournament had concluded. Rhodes also announced that the Duty Rhodes Tag Team Classic would be returning.
