#1 Shayna Baszler versus Kairi Sane at Evolution
2018 was a huge year in WWE's Women's Revolution and marked the first-ever women's-only pay-per-view, Evolution. Shayna Baszler had already enjoyed a reign as NXT Women's Champion for 113 days until she dropped the title to Kairi Sane at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4.
A rematch between the two was set for Evolution. Both parties managed to get in offense during the bout, but when Sane attempted to perform her signature Insane Elbow on The Queen of Spades, Baszler rolled out of the ring. As the match went on, Baszler's allies Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke began to interfere in the action.

Shafir and Duke were able to team up to distract Sane, allowing Shayna Baszler to apply the Kirifuda Clutch to The Pirate Princess, causing her to submit and pass the title back to Baszler.
The Submission Magician emerging victoriously from the match meant that she had made history, becoming the first-ever two-time NXT Women's Champion. This began her second and most commanding reign, which lasted 441 days — the second-longest reign with the belt, after Asuka.
