Participants In WWE NXT Women's Title Tournament Revealed
Who will become the next WWE NXT Women's Champion?
May 9, 2023
Following Indi Hartwell's injury (and subsequent vacating of the WWE NXT Women's Championship), the participants in a tournament to crown the next champion have been officially revealed. They are:
- Tiffany Stratton
- Gigi Dolin
- Roxanne Perez
- Jacy Jayne
- Lyra Valkyria
- Kiana James
- Cora Jade
- Fallon Henley
The eight-woman tournament will begin on this week's episode of NXT, with Tiffany Stratton taking on Gigi Dolin and Lyra Valkyira facing Kiana James. Next week will see the other two first-round matches take place: Roxanne Perez vs. Jacy Jayne and Cora Jade vs. Fallon Henley.
There are several feuding pairs in the tournament, although none have been matched up in the first round. Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne are now bitter rivals, having won the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships together as Toxic Attraction. Another pair of former tag champions are Fallon Henley and Kiana James (although the pair were never on friendly terms).
The final is set to take place at NXT Battleground in Lowell, Massachusetts on May 28, the same day as AEW's Double or Nothing pay-per-view in Las Vegas.
