WWE announces return of NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament

The Women’s Breakout Tournament is returning soon.

NXT teased on Tuesday the return of the tournament without giving a date. The last time that the tournament was held back in the summer of 2022.

In a segment that aired later on NXT, Roxanne Perez was talking to women backstage about what the Breakout Tournament did for her career. She was confronted by Elektra Lopez and Lola Vice, with Vice saying she would enter and win the tournament.

Last year’s tournament featured Nikkita Lyons, Arianna Grace, Fallon Henley, Sloane Jacobs (since released), Perez, Kiana James, Lash Legend, and Tatum Paxley. Perez defeated Stratton in the finals to earn a NXT Women’s Championship match against then-champion Mandy Rose. Although unsuccessful in her first attempt, Perez would go on to become champion by defeating Rose in December.

Tiffany Stratton won the NXT Women’s Championship earlier this year, defeating Lyra Valkyria in the finals of a tournament to crown a new champion at NXT Battleground. She will be defending the championship on Tuesday’s show against Becky Lynch.
