What’s better than one challenger? Two challengers!

This week's NXT saw two women’s matches play out, as Rhea Ripley took on Aliyah and Dakota Kai faced off against Bianca Beliar.

Ripley made quick work of her opponent Aliyah, and immediately demanded another shot at the NXT Women’s Championship from Shayna Baszler.

Later on, Belair outperformed the returning Dakota Kai and made it clear that she deserved a title shot more than Ripley or anyone else.

The angle could work very well in the coming days, and Baszler could prove to be fearless again and offer both the women a shot at her title in a Triple Threat match.

The match could do wonders for the women’s division, as three of the top Superstars could go head to head and if Baszler wins, her credibility as the champion will increase manifold, while a win for either one of the two challengers by pinning the other could protect Baszler and free her up to move to the main roster.

In either case, NXT continues to show that they have some of the best talent and challengers ready for the top titles unlike the main roster, and this unique factor is keeping the brand on top week after week.
