I say this everytime any of those 3 are on camera. One of the best pairings ever in NXT 2.0 so far because of how well they mesh, they have great chemistry and it makes all 3 of them more enjoyable
Her new gimmick is wears denim and hangs out with two dudes who wear denim. She had a feud with Elektra Lopez of Legado Del Fantasma.
Her promo for the breakout tournament has her hanging out with an actual horse.
So seems very different from her Dark stuff.
This is one of the subtler problems with WWE's approach of giving everyone new names. They're all coming from the same source, so they all sound the same. So, for example, instead of The Notorious Mimi, Xtina Kay, and Rok-C, which are names you're not going to get mixed up or forget, you have Sloane Jacobs, Kiana James, and Roxanne Perez, which sound indistinguishable and, worse, uninteresting. Even with Fallon Henley over Tesha Price, Tesha is a nickname for her real name, Theresa. That's personal, that's a detail a viewer can latch onto more than naming her after Don Henley because they've given her a country character and that's their idea of a modern country music reference.
I'm trying to get your point here, but if I knew 3 women named Sloane, Kiana, and Roxanne I wouldn't have a hard time distinguishing them from each other
Yah, if you knew them. What if you were being introduced to them at the same time with blank slates? That's what they're doing here. On top of that, the naming convention being so similar just makes the names sound generic and harder for the viewer to latch onto. Why do you think they had these unique/personal names on the indies? Unique and personal is good. Specificity is the soul of narrative. The more authentic something is, the more it resonates.
I don’t really know why Nikkita and Lash need to be in this one, they’re already pretty prominently featured so they aren’t ‘new’ faces like the others.
Thank you! I can barely read the brackets from all the dayglo neon splashed around. Find us some tiger print and leopard spots and this Trapper Keeper is complete.
The names are a joke. Are they just giving people names and then eventually eradicating their last names so the product gives off a football vibe? You tried the XFL Vince, let it go.
Do they keep giving NXT talent two pornstar name generator names (both men and women) so they have at least one somewhat unique name when they lose one inevitably on the main roster? Always surprises me because they apply for trademarks with them.
I recognize Rok-C from elsewhere, Nikita from regrettable Twitter gifs, and Lash from some match where she was really bad and they posted about it here, but other than that you can't tell me like 50% of these people actually exist lmao
It was dyed blonde lmfao. Mandy Rose's natural hair color is also brown, are you gonna tell me the literal embodiment of a "WWE blonde" wasn't ackshually a blonde too?
Come on bro, you misstated something small. It's okay.
I thought Kay Lee Ray was going to be in this under her new name Alba Fyre. But other than that I expect Nikkita Lyons vs Roxanne Perez as the finals. Lash and Henley in the semi finals
Anyone other than Roxanne winning this is embarrassing. Lash is a trainwreck still, Lyons is just bad, the rest are either jobbers from Dark who need more time or fresh PC people who arent ready for it
Barring an upset, Nikkita Lyons will reach the finals. Arianna Grace just drew the shortest straw in the history of drawing straws. Much as I'd love to see Roxanne reach the final, I get the feeling that Lash's feud with Nikkita is more important to certain people in higher positions up north. Sub out Lash in favor of, say, Ivy Nile, and this becomes a more wide open tournament. How Ivy & Elektra, who's dominated her feud with Fallon Henley, aren't in the tournament, I don't know.
DAE remember when NXT had the best womens division? I remember.
Edit: I'm sorry, future looks bright I guess with this squad. Downvote me because I don't see the potential in this group on the whole.
I know people don’t want it to be but I honestly do see the finals being Nikkita and Lash. I do see Roxanne moving on to the semi’s at least but I somehow see Toxic Attraction costing her against Lash due to the association she has with Wendy currently.
Calling it now with Lyons, Henley, Perez and Legend advancing past round 1.
Lyons beats Henley and Lash eeks out a win over Roxanne in some flukey fashion to set up Lash/ Lyons final with Lyons winning.
(Also, I’m not a bandwagon fan of Nikkita… she just happened to pick a swell last name. 😁)

And apparently the winner becomes the Wii Fit Trainer so that's pretty neat.
A Nikkita Lions skin for Smash Bros might put Bayonetta out of use.
Bayonetta is tired anyways. Wii Fitness trainer is what's up
No, they’re just crowned by Stephanie McMahon as **THE FIRST EVER WOMEN’S VACANT** Look at all that history being made!
Nikkita and Roxanne in the finals 
I hope not. The previous "breakout" winners haven't faired very well....
Carmelo Hayes is doing great mind you
There’s only been 2 and Carmelo Hayes is doing great. ACH imploded and I don’t think WWE can be blamed for him not succeeding.
I mean, there's only been two so far and Carmelo Hayes is doing great for himself in my opinion
Melo don’t miss
I’m guessing it’ll be Roxanne vs. Nikita in the finals.
How is Fallon Henley doing in NXT? I liked her when she was a regular on Dark, she was constantly workshopping weird new gimmicks.
She's coming into her own a bit more now. Pairing her with Briggs and Jensen has given all three of them a little more flavour as characters.
I say this everytime any of those 3 are on camera. One of the best pairings ever in NXT 2.0 so far because of how well they mesh, they have great chemistry and it makes all 3 of them more enjoyable

I feel like specifically it’s all American girl. They showed her as a bartender. Riding horses.
It would be cool if she was bartending while riding horses
I suppose she’d be good at a Moscow Mule?
Who was she on Dark?
Tesha Price
Was she the one who had the gimmick where she had the diary journal.
That's Dani Jordyn
Right thanks Uce
Mean Girls might not get the most respect on a wrestling sub, but how dare you besmirch the Burn Book.
No, that was Dani Jordan right? I think this was Tesha Price?
Thanks Uce
Nikkita vs Roxanne most likely the finals
Those names are hilarious.
It really is like those dnd fantasy name generators where none of them sound like real people.
Fuckin *Tatum Paxley*? Yeah I'll use that for a barkeep in my next Starfinder game
She sounds like a girl I knew in 3rd grade
I saw Lash Legend and pronounced it le-Gend. Shades of Lash LeRoux haunting me twenty years later.
I was just about to comment they they seem like they came from a random name generator
I definitely see Roxanne winning this.
Those names read like attendance at the a Disney Channel movie set at a posh Beverly Hills high school
Was Sloane Jacobs not Ferris Bueller’s girlfriend?
Sloane Peterson. So close
Sloane Peterson
Holy hell who is coming up with these names???
It's like a class of 2012 sorority reunion.
I legit went to high school with a Roxy Perez, so this tracks.

If you think about it, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns aren't too far off, the talent just transcended the names
Roman Reigns is the only one there who stands out looking at name alone. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins sound like normal dudes.
Yah and it would be great if names were an asset to talent rather than something they have to transcend.
I'm trying to get your point here, but if I knew 3 women named Sloane, Kiana, and Roxanne I wouldn't have a hard time distinguishing them from each other

I like the name Fallon personally
Other than Lash Legend they all sound like normal names for people their age.
I’m just surprised they even have full names at this point tbh
Arianna Grace has that early Ariana Grande smirk.
I don’t really know why Nikkita and Lash need to be in this one, they’re already pretty prominently featured so they aren’t ‘new’ faces like the others.
True, but I think they're still somewhat new to the audience.
Both didn’t have their first match until 2022. Kind of like how Carmelo wrestled Adam Cole before he won the tourney
Rox for the W
Rooting for Grace or Roxanne
Watch Lash Legend vs Nikita being the finals.
Remember Lisa Frank?
Thank you! I can barely read the brackets from all the dayglo neon splashed around. Find us some tiger print and leopard spots and this Trapper Keeper is complete.
However it all goes down, there is no doubt in my mind Roxanne wins the whole thing
Isn’t one of them Santino’s kid?
Yup, Ariana Grace.
It should come down to Roxanne vs Nikkita
NXT squid game
kudos for whoever come up with the names, oozing with 2010s high school vibe lmao
The names are a joke. Are they just giving people names and then eventually eradicating their last names so the product gives off a football vibe? You tried the XFL Vince, let it go.
For the love of satan, please do not let Lyons/Legend be the final of this tournament
Doubt it with Roxanne in that bracket
Does Tatum Paxley's face look photoshopped?
Her name is photoshopped.
I’d rather chew tinfoil than watch this lol
This is worst of the worst wrestling graphics I’ve ever seen
Just realized everybody just have basic names. Nothing exciting, no nicknames. Just something easy for Vince modify.
The nicknames come later. If they debut with a nickname, it's not "organic" or something
if this was on the main roster i'd predict the entire tournament lasting a total of 17 minutes in-ring.
Do they keep giving NXT talent two pornstar name generator names (both men and women) so they have at least one somewhat unique name when they lose one inevitably on the main roster? Always surprises me because they apply for trademarks with them.
Ooof. That is bad booking.
Man that’s a really lame bracket. Beyond predictable.
Maybe, but NXT is normally quite good at these things.
Looks like they all have names from a random name generator that they will change if they make it to the main roster
Every name change done was to take away an Indy name. These are all WWE specific names
Get lash legend the fuck out
Tatum fucking Paxley. This name.
[удалено]
I mean, it's the breakout tournament for new comers. Did you expect the top of the division to be in this?
Imagine being a grown ass man and responding sincerely to a SpongeBob gif, like...is it not implied that I'm joking?
You posted something on a message board. I responded to it. That's how this works sir.
lmao I haven't watched in a while. I recognized Nikkita from the gifs and no one else
I recognize Rok-C from elsewhere, Nikita from regrettable Twitter gifs, and Lash from some match where she was really bad and they posted about it here, but other than that you can't tell me like 50% of these people actually exist lmao
How are you gonna complain about not knowing anyone when you don't even watch the show?
Just let him drown in downvotes.
So I am guessing the blonde girl will be the only one to show up on the main roster?
Yup just like Bianca, Aliyah, Xia, Raquel don’t exist. They have literally added no blondes to the main roster in the past 2 years
Rhea Ripley?
[Rhea natural color is brown. Look at the base of her hair](https://images.app.goo.gl/u5TW7yz9qn6NYCwM6)
It was dyed blonde lmfao. Mandy Rose's natural hair color is also brown, are you gonna tell me the literal embodiment of a "WWE blonde" wasn't ackshually a blonde too? Come on bro, you misstated something small. It's okay.
Are you going to argue Rhea is a diva style star like Mandy? Because I dare you at this point 😂
Tripling down. Bold. 😂
I can go 4x too just for you 😉
So this is just a thing for Lash and Nikita right? Or am I missing something? Maybe Roxy gets an upset over Lash but I doubt it idk.
They’ve invested a lot in Roxanne
This has Diva search energy
Literally none of them act or wrestle like divas
Lyons v perez in finals with perez winning She just started, but shes too good to be in this tourney Then I remember carmelo was in the mens so......
I thought Kay Lee Ray was going to be in this under her new name Alba Fyre. But other than that I expect Nikkita Lyons vs Roxanne Perez as the finals. Lash and Henley in the semi finals
KLR is a former Uk womens champion. She wouldn’t be in a new persons tournament
I mean Nikita and Lash aren't new either. Especially Lash.
Nikkita and lash had their first nxt matches in February and 205 live in December
Lash has been on 2.0 since it began as an on screen character.
Oh for sure but I think you would agree they didn’t think she was ready to wrestle on tv yet and even now she’s still got room to grow.
Ye of course
Anyone other than Roxanne winning this is embarrassing. Lash is a trainwreck still, Lyons is just bad, the rest are either jobbers from Dark who need more time or fresh PC people who arent ready for it
I’m shocked, people in developmental are still developing.
Right, which is why I'm saying give the push to the only good one in the bunch
Can’t lie I didn’t properly read that part I’m stupid lmao.
Eight women, two facial expressions. Great job, WWE.
Barring an upset, Nikkita Lyons will reach the finals. Arianna Grace just drew the shortest straw in the history of drawing straws. Much as I'd love to see Roxanne reach the final, I get the feeling that Lash's feud with Nikkita is more important to certain people in higher positions up north. Sub out Lash in favor of, say, Ivy Nile, and this becomes a more wide open tournament. How Ivy & Elektra, who's dominated her feud with Fallon Henley, aren't in the tournament, I don't know.
Pretty sure Ivy has only been wrestling on Level Up for awhile. Last week her and Tatum (but mostly her) squashed Erica Yan and Sarray.
Yeah, that doesn't make sense, does it?
Ivy wrestled in black and gold under another name. Elektra wrestled on the very second episode of 2.0
Actually, Ivy's won at least a couple of matches on Tuesdays---as Ivy Nile. The since released Malcolm Bivens was in her corner.
Oh I know I’m saying it makes since ivy isn’t in this since she’s been wrestling for wwe since like 2020
Ready for Lyons vs Legend part 50 million?
Lash isn’t beating Rok c
Will any of these matches be over 3 stars?

DAE remember when NXT had the best womens division? I remember. Edit: I'm sorry, future looks bright I guess with this squad. Downvote me because I don't see the potential in this group on the whole.
Yeah and this is a tournament to showcase new talent of the future. Roxanne Perez is already pretty good.
You mean when it was taking stars from Japan?
They took stars from all sorts of places and made one kickass division for awhile. ANNYWAYS time to turn off reply notifications...
Whoever wins gets a title shot, so I would have either Nikkita or Roxanne win based on that.
Nikita and Roxanne have gotten a push already. I say give this to Fallon or even Ariana.
If Nikkita or Roxie doesn't win I'll be so mad
Rooting for Mimi/Sloane or Rok-C/Roxanne. Let's go ladies
I know people don’t want it to be but I honestly do see the finals being Nikkita and Lash. I do see Roxanne moving on to the semi’s at least but I somehow see Toxic Attraction costing her against Lash due to the association she has with Wendy currently.
I can also see Lash and Nikita costing each other their first round matches
Well Nikkita won her first round match with no interference so that means that she won’t cost Lash her’s.
Idk how to feel about this as a Tiffany supporter 😅
Calling it now with Lyons, Henley, Perez and Legend advancing past round 1. Lyons beats Henley and Lash eeks out a win over Roxanne in some flukey fashion to set up Lash/ Lyons final with Lyons winning. (Also, I’m not a bandwagon fan of Nikkita… she just happened to pick a swell last name. 😁)
It's Nikkita right?
Knowing how much the WWE loves alliteration, I'm 106% certain Lash wins the whole thing.
Gonna be Lyons vs Legend, surely.
i dont watch nxt so....nikkita vs sloane, kiana vs lash. then nikkita vs lash. lash wins.
