The show then played a vignette for one of the competitors, Arianna Grace, formerly known as Bianca Carelli (Santino Marella’s daughter). She was introduced as a former beauty pageant competitor who’s now chasing greatness in the world of sports entertainment.

Later in the show, Kiana James (Kayla Inlay), a successful businesswoman, was also confirmed for the bracket in a vignette of her own. Yet another vignette introduced Sloane Jacobs (Notorious Mimi) as another competitor; in her promo, she stated that she was a 19-year-old underdog who’s looking to become the youngest NXT Women’s Champion of all time.
