#2 Nixon Newell
Nixon Newell was scheduled to be in last year's tournament, but an unfortunate ACL injury kept her out of the contest. She recently made her return and has worked the NXT house show circuit alongside Dakota Kai, Candice LeRae, and Kairi Sane. Her entry in this year's event is guaranteed.
There's a redemption story waiting to be told with her. Moreover, she's only 23 years old and is already considered a phenomenal wrestler. A very bright future awaits her regardless, and she might be the dark horse candidate to win it all.
