5 Future NXT Women's Champions

Image result for kairi sane nxt women's champion
Kairi Sane is the current NXT Women's Champion.

The NXT Women's Champion has been held by Paige, Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Asuka, Ember Moon, Shayna Baszler, & Kairi Sane. While women such as Becky Lynch, Carmella, Alexa Bliss, & Nia Jax have not held the NXT Women's Title and still have had some success on the main roster, these 5 women will probably hold the NXT Women's Title.

#5: Lacey Evans

Lacey Evans has been impressive on NXT.

Lacey Evans has improved in the ring a lot. She has been really impressive this year and has a unique gimmick. She is an ex-marine but instead of being a stereotypical face, she is a heel. Lacey Evans has defeated the likes of Dakota Kai, Aliyah, & even NXT Women's Champion Kairi Sane. Lacey Evans will certainly get an opportunity at the NXT Women's Championship in the near future and even though she might lose, she will certainly hold the NXT Women's Title eventually.

#4: Deonna Purrazzo

Deonna Purrazzo competed in the 2nd Mae Young Classic.

Deonna Purrazzo was recently signed by WWE. She has competed in the 2nd Mae Young Classic and even acted as La Luchadora on days that Mickie James wasn't available. She recently made her NXT debut although she was defeated by Bianca Belair. Deonna Purrazzo is an incredibly talented woman and will do great things when she does appear on NXT on a regular basis. Deonna Purrazzo will definitely eventually lock in the Fujiwara armbar and will hold the NXT Women's Title.

#3: Candice LeRae

Candice LeRae will eventually step out of her husband's shadow.

Candice LeRae has been in her husband's shadow since she's joined NXT. Candice LeRae has started to step out of his shadow when she defeated Lacey Evans and took the fight to NXT Women's Champion (at the time) Shayna Baszler. Candice LeRae is a great underdog and she will eventually defeat a dominant champion such as Bianca Belair or Lacey Evans. Candice LeRae is an excellent wrestler that will do great as NXT Women's Champion. It will be a great, feel-good story (similar to when Bayley and Ember Moon both won the NXT Women's Championship).

#2: Io Shirai

Io Shirai is the favorite to win the Mae Young Classic.

Out of every woman on this list, it is most likely that Io Shirai will be the next NXT Women's Champion. Io Shirai was supposed to be in last year's Mae Young Classic but couldn't compete in it due to an injury. As a result, Io Shirai's signing was delayed. She will compete in this year's Mae Young Classic and will probably win the whole thing. Io Shirai will then make her debut on NXT in the near future. Io Shirai will probably feud with Kairi Sane during the spring and will probably face her at the NXT Takeover before WrestleMania 35. Io Shirai will then defeat Kairi Sane and will win the NXT Women's Title.

#1: Bianca Belair

Bianca Belair is currently undefeated.

Bianca Belair is the NXT women's division most impressive athlete. She is an excellent competitor that has done great ever since joining NXT. Bianca Belair has defeated the likes of Aliyah, Lacey Evans, Dakota Kai, & Candice LeRae. She will probably challenge for the NXT Women's Title after Shayna Baszler. Bianca Belair will probably be defeated by Kairi Sane but like Lacey Evans, she will eventually hold the NXT Women's Title.
