5 things that must happen on RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week

#2 Io Shirai wins the Battle Royal

Shirai needs to get over sooner than later

NXT is ready to have a rollercoaster night as Rhea Ripley will find out who will be the first challenger to her NXT Women’s Championship.

While five women came out last week to stake their claim for Ripley’s title, the brand has decided to give eleven top NXT women a chance to get in the race for the NXT Women’s Championship.

With Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, and Io Shirai already in the mix, we will also watch Chelsea Green, Dakota Kai, Vanessa Borne, Kayden Carter, Mia Yim, Santana Garrett, Shotzi Blackheart, and Xia Li enter a Battle Royal with the winner getting their hands on Ripley.

While many names deserve to get a shot at the title, Shirai seems like the woman who should be getting the first rivalry with Ripley for the title considering that she is the premier heel Superstar on the brand.

The Genius of the Sky deserves a push right about now, and a title opportunity against The Nightmare will do her a world of good. Even if the two women trade the title amongst themselves, fans will not be bothered as everyone knows how good these two women are inside the ring.
