In a thrilling match this past Wednesday, Rhea Ripley became the new NXT Women’s Champion!
This is coming off a dominant reign from Shayna Baszler, who won the belt back at WWE Evolution in October 2018, and has since defeated the likes of Kairi Sane, Bianca Belair, Io Shirai, and Candace LaRae.
However, Ripley has had “The Queen of Spades” number in the last few weeks, with “The Nightmare” pinning the 39-year-old during the first-ever NXT Women’s WarGames match during Survivor Series weekend.
