#2 To build a new leader for the women’s division
The women’s division of NXT has been led by Shayna Baszler since April 2018. Since then, she has enjoyed two long Championship reigns, with the most recent one lasting over 400 days.

With Rhea Ripley now on top of the women’s division, NXT could begin the new year on a high and build some solid rivalries surrounding the new Champion. With the focus on the Aussie, we could watch NXT give Ripley a dominating run where she can work on her opponents and gain more popularity.
As the inaugural NXT United Kingdom Women’s Champion, Ripley will know what she’s doing and will have the experience to carry the brand forward as it has built itself to be on par with the other two brands.
Along with that, The Nightmare’s recent performances on RAW and SmackDown along with Survivor Series will help her and the brand’s women’s division get much more attention.
While women like Candice LeRae and Io Shirai can lead the women’s roster too, Ripley’s recent successes and experience of leading NXT UK could help her become an even bigger star.
