Jakara Jackson has not been medically cleared to compete in her scheduled match in the Women’s Breakout Tournament on Tuesday’s edition of NXT.
The Meta-Four member was due to take on Arianna Grace. Her place will be taken by newcomer Brinley Reece, who will be making her televised NXT in-ring debut.
Reece has so far only competed at untelevised NXT live events under the name Breanna Ruggiero.
The substitution was announced on Monday evening on NXT social media.
