7 NXT Superstars who could follow Austin Theory to RAW

#1 Rhea Ripley

The Nightmare is just getting started

Rhea Ripley is one of the youngest Superstars in WWE today. While she hasn’t been with the company for too long, she has managed to not only win the NXT United Kingdom Women’s Championship once but also the NXT Women’s Championship.

The 23-year-old showed immense courage when she walked out to challenge the 2020 Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair on RAW and book her ticket to WrestleMania 36.

This will be the first time that a top NXT title will be defended at the event and the young Superstar is ready to make history once again.

While Ripley has been doing extremely well in NXT and has been leading the women’s division ever since she defeated Shayna Baszler for the title, she has an even bigger task at hand for WrestleMania.

Even though the NXT Universe is hoping and praying that The Nightmare will defeat The Queen at WrestleMania, let’s not forget that Flair is the most decorated woman in the history of the company.

With that in mind, in case Ripley loses her title at WrestleMania and Flair moves to NXT with the title, we could see Ripley make her way to RAW and aim for the top of the brand from the word go.

This will help WWE capitalize on Ripley’s fame and following. Building her into a big star at such a young age will only be beneficial for the company in the long run.
