5 NXT Superstars who can take Rhea Ripley's place if she gets sent home

#4 Mia Yim

This ladder match won't be Yim's first rodeo

The Blasian Baddie has been a constant threat to the NXT Women's Championship for a little over a year now. After a great showing in both Mae Young Classic Tournaments, losing to the runner up of the first tournament Shayna Baszler, and the winner of the second, Toni Storm, she moved to the NXT roster where she began racking up some incredible wins.

MiaYim's record in NXT is pretty impressive, especially considering the women she's knocked off in her short time on the roster. Bianca Belair, Dakota Kai, Kay Lee Ray, Raquel Gonzalez, Xia Li, and more have felt the wrath of the Head Baddie in Charge, and even Shayna Baszler was put to the test in their NXT Women's Championship match in Toronto last year.

Yim's never back down attitude is something that fans can easily get behind, especially if it's someone who's not afraid to go into a fight with a disadvantage, which is something we've seen a few times in the past few years.

As far as her ability, go back and watch her series with Bianca Belair to see what she's capable of. With the EST of NXT joining RAW and Rhea Ripley reportedly out of the States for a while, Yim is someone who can fill that role.
