Odyssey Jones Defeats Andre Chase To Advance In NXT Breakout Tournament
Odyssey Jones may be the man to break out in the WWE NXT Breakout Tournament. Jones showcased his power against Andre Chase in his opening round match, though Chase put up a valiant fight.
Jones dropped Chase over the commentary table, but Chase fought back and even got the near fall on Jones. Chase then used his aerial ability with a standing moonsault from the top, but the big man collided with Chase in the corner and nailed an elevated Irish whip uranage for the pinfall victory. As a result, Jones became the second star to advance in the tournament behind Duke Hudson.

Updated Card For 7/27 WWE NXT
Pete Dunne wants to get technical with Timothy Thatcher and “The Bruiserweight” will get his shot in a tag team match next week. On Tuesday night, Dunne and his cohort, Oney Lorcan laid down the challenge against Thatcher and his bearded bud, Tommaso Ciampa. That tag bout was made official, and it should prove to be a contest to “catch” in regards to wrestling work.
