#4 Xia Li pinned Mia Yim on WWE NXT (Feb 26, 2020)

Xia Li has had a tough year on WWE NXT. The Chinese Superstar has been on the losing end of her matches in the second half of the year, and we might see a character change from the Superstar very soon.

However, Li started the year on the right foot. In February, Li competed in her first singles match of the year against Mia Yim. Yim was considered one of the biggest Superstars of NXT, and even though she never won a title on the brand, she was still considered a major force.

The HBIC had the upper hand walking into the match, and took Li down early. However, a distraction from Raquel Gonzalez helped Li pick up arguably the biggest victory of her WWE career. Before her victory over Yim, Li had only won matches over other enhancement talents such as Jessi Kamea, Aliyah, and Vanessa Borne.

Surprisingly, Li never got a push after her upset victory over Yim, and even though she defeated Aliyah a couple of weeks later, she went on a losing spree in WWE.
