We officially have our UK Women's championship match for Evolution.
At tonight's NXT UK tapings it was announced that Rhea Ripley, the inaugural NXT UK Women’s champion, would put her title on the line against Isla Dawn at WWE Evolution on October 28.
If you’re unfamiliar with who Dawn is, the Scottish native began her professional wrestling career back in 2013. Dawn has worked under promotions such as Scottish Wrestling Alliance, Combat Zone Wrestling, and Shine Wrestling.
She’s even had previous stints in the company before re-debuting this past year during the UK tournament special. Going under the name of Stacy Coates, she was defeated by Auska in Manchester, England. She was also in this year's Mae Young Classic where she lost to Nicole Matthews in the first round.
Ripley won a 8-woman tournament to become the 1
st NXT UK Women’s champion.
