10 NXT Women

Crrent NXT women Io Shirai, Candice LeRae, Xia Li and Rhea Ripley have represented the yellow and black brand in one of the last two years at the PPV. Kairi Sane and Ember Moon also participated in Rumble matches as parts of NXT but both women are members of the main roster now.

With 10 spots potentially open to the roster, however, a lot of talented women will get a chance to earn a match at WrestleMania 36. There are some names that seem like slam dunks - Shayna Baszler, Shirai, Bianca Belair, LeRae and Toni Storm. None of those women are currently Champions and will be met with raucous applause when/if they are in the match.

The rest of the representatives are a little harder to predict. Ripley was not NXT UK Women's Champion when she entered the match, losing the title a few weeks prior to the PPV. But since Storm isn't the Champion and has been featured lately in NXT, she seems like a likely participant.

The same goes with Kay Lee Ray who despite holding the NXT UK Women's title, should be in the match. A couple of the other spots are up for grabs between the rest of the roster.

10 NXT entrants: Shirai, Storm, LeRae, Belair, Baszler, Kay Lee Ray, Li, Dakota Kai, Mia Yim, Taynara Conti
