#2. Bianca Belair and Shayna Baszler are the next two major stars

Two women who had an incredible showing in the Women's Royal Rumble match were from NXT - Bianca Belair and Shayna Baszler. Both women garnered a whopping 8 eliminations each - meaning that half of the Royal Rumble field was eliminated by just these two.

Sure, it was Charlotte Flair who ended up winning the entire match, but Baszler looked incredible even in defeat. Belair and Baszler set a new record for the number of eliminations in a single Women's Rumble match and it may be a while before we see anyone come close.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

WWE knows how to establish talent when they want to and at the Rumble, they did a phenomenal job. It shouldn't come as a surprise, however, as both women have been pegged as future top stars in WWE.

While we can't be sure how long Belair will stay in NXT, Baszler is certainly set for a debut soon and when The EST of NXT does arrive, she'll be a big deal.
