9 NXT Champions who went on to become world champions in WWE

#3 Charlotte

Charlotte is the current NXT Women's Champion

The most decorated women's champion in WWE history, Charlotte Flair is the current NXT Women's Champion, her second reign with the title. The Queen won the title first back in 2014, after winning an eight-woman tournament for the championship vacated by Paige.

Charlotte at the time went on to have engaging feuds with the likes of Summer Rae, Sasha Banka, and Bayley before she eventually dropped the title to The Legit Boss. She then made her RAW debut as part of the Women's Revolution angle where she was part of team PCB alongside Paige and Becky Lynch.

Charlotte won her first title on the main roster after beating Nikki Bella at Night of Champions in 2015 for the Divas Championship. A year later, she would retain her title at WrestleMania 32 in a triple threat match also involving Banks and Lynch.

The Divas Championship was replaced by the WWE Women's Championship at the same event. The title would later be assigned to RAW and the SmackDown Women's Championship would also be inaugurated.

So far, Charlotte has won the RAW women's title four times and the SmackDown women's title five times. Add to that the Divas title and the two NXT women's title reigns and that takes her tally of title reigns to a total of 12, the highest for any woman in the company. Thus, it's not a surprise that many consider her to be the greatest female Superstar in WWE history.
