The recent episode of “WWE NXT” featured a gauntlet eliminator match with six female wrestlers vying for a chance to challenge Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship at the No Mercy Premium Live Event. Jaida Parker emerged victorious in the match, but one wrestler, Karmen Petrovic, was notably absent from the competition.
Initially scheduled to participate in the bout, Petrovic was replaced by Brinley Reece without a clear explanation provided for the change. According to sources from “NXT,” Petrovic, who is uninjured, was removed from the match for storyline purposes that will be revealed at a later date.
Although Petrovic was last seen on TV during The Great American Bash TV special, where she faced a defeat alongside her tag team partners, she has continued to compete at NXT live events. Additionally, she was involved in a match against Izzi Dame immediately after the August 20 episode, which will air on August 27.
The exact reason behind Petrovic’s removal from the gauntlet eliminator match is still unknown, but fans can anticipate that the storyline will unfold in upcoming episodes of “NXT.” Stay tuned for further developments on Petrovic’s WWE journey.
