(bell dinging) The following is a semi-finals match in the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament. Introducing first, Tiffany Stratton. Well you see the NXT universe's love towards Tiffany Stratton. Stratton talked her way in to this NXT Breakout Tournament matchup, replacing Nikkita Lyons. She'll take on Fallon Henley. Who's making it to the finals? We find out next.
Introducing Fallon Henley. Let's move on to the here and the now. Let's get an updated look at the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament bracket. Earlier tonight, Roxanne Perez advanced. She is watching. She's waiting. Will it be Tiffany Stratton or Fallon Henley to join Perez in the finals? Again, Stratton is in this match because Nikita Lyons had to withdraw due to injury. And this semi-final matchup, I mean, think about Fallon Henley.
She was prepared to face Nikita Lyons. Totally had to switch up her strategy. And had to do it in short notice. Yes, she did, but at least Fallon Henley came to NXT today for a Breakout Tournament semi-final. Tiffany Stratton came here today presumably to sit in catering. In fact, it's lucky she even had her ring gear with her. Stratton deserves all of our respect- Hold on a second, so- For risking her wellbeing- Hold on a second. So you don't credit Henley with not taking the easy way out?
Credit, no. Come on, Henley- What do you mean no? Henley- Are you serious? Henley wanted a buy-through to the final here. Let's credit Tiffany Stratton for not allowing Henley to take the easy way out. No freebies on Tiffany Stratton's watch. Oh, so Stratton just goes right into the semi-finals, one win away from the finals? Didn't have to do a quarter final matchup. So that's fair? That goes completely against what you just said.
No, Tiffany Stratton did not ask to be put in that situation. Ooh! In fact, it is an absolute scandal that she wasn't entered into the Breakout Tournament in the first place. And I will go- (laughs) Oh. I'm gonna go one further. Tiffany Stratton beat Sarray three weeks ago on NXT. So let's call that her first round Breakout Tournament. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're not saying something three weeks ago. Where do you come up with your math? The tournament started two weeks ago. That wasn't an official.
I'm done arguing with you 'cause right now, Henley taking it to Stratton. And look, Henley knows all about injuries. I mean, you gotta have an update on Brooks Jensen. We saw Briggs and Jensen earlier tonight. Yes, I do. I'm sure we're all pulling for Briggs and Jensen to be back soon here in NXT, as right now Tiffany Stratton could be getting ready to punch her.
Getting ready to punch her ticket into the finals. What a strike. Did you say he's still. So your sources know that much information? Yeah, I've got great sources, believe me. I know all the ins- Ooh! Ins and outs that are going on in the NXT locker room. Stratton into the cover. And will she make it to the finals? And a kickout by Henley. What a stunning job Tiffany Stratton is doing here.
Take another look at this Olympic-level gymnast athleticism on display. Whoa, whoa, no one's questioning the athleticism of Tiffany Stratton. She is an Olympic-level gymnast. What people question is the way she goes about her business. Listen, Tiffany Stratton has understood way faster than most people arrive in NXT. The athleticism will only get you halfway. Oh, and Stratton, chop lock. Continuing to chop down and focus on the left knee of Fallon Henley. And you can see Henley right now is in pain.
Maybe desperation starting to sink in on Henley because she knows, she loses, she's done. There is no tomorrow. You win, you move on. You lose, you go home. Double stomp from Stratton. If you win, you will. Stratton is vicious. And Stratton into the cover. And another near fall. Henley keeping her dream alive. You know somewhere, Grayson Waller- Alive by a thread right now. It has to be said. Grayson Waller is certainly watching closely as Tiffany Stratton- The whole world is watching.
It's Tiffany Stratton. Certainly has brought her A game again here tonight. And take a look at the offense. Look at the bridge. Look at the torque. Is Henley gonna submit? Is she going to tap out? Look at the flexibility and the core strength, exactly what you would expect from Tiffany Stratton. Fallon Henley must be in agony right now. Ooh, and Henley doing anything she can. We talk about desperation starting to set in for Fallon Henley.
Could be realizing, the finals slipping through her hands here tonight to Stratton. And Stratton continuing to take it to Henley. And now Henley, fed up. I'll tell you this. Fallon Henley, country girl. She can brawl with the best of 'em. And she's gonna have to bring out all the brawling techniques in this matchup. She had a clear path to the finals. Earlier today when it was announced Nikkita Lyons could not compete, Henley didn't want the easy way.
She wanted to earn it. And she's gonna have to tonight. Absolutely learning those shots from the likes of Briggs and Jensen- Whoa! Those country-strong boys. But right now, Fallon Henley, all the momentum, can barely stand up, though, it has to be said. Stratton trying to go again for the left knee. Henley able to cut her off, and now a big right hand. That's a barroom brawling technique there from Fallon Henley.
Henley with Stratton in her sights. And, oh. The referee checking on Henley. Henley is not going to give up. Henley is not going to quit. But Stratton charging right in and, ooh. She'd be a lot better off quitting at this point. Save yourself from the inevitable. But it might be too late. And quite the twist from Tiffany. Into the cover, and Stratton is headed to the finals. Here is your winner, Tiffany Stratton. Not the outcome Fallon Henley was hoping for her tonight. But let's go back to what you talked about earlier: the athleticism of Tiffany Stratton.
Just ridiculous body control from Tiffany Stratton, someone who has gone from zero to 100 here in NXT in the blink of an eye. Now finding herself in the finals of the Women's Breakout Tournament thanks to this right here. You'll never see that anywhere else in the world of sports entertainment except from Tiffany Stratton, a young lady who has a massive future. Oh, yeah, and look who. Grayson Waller out here to celebrate.
