Ranking all of WWE's current champions (post-SummerSlam weekend)

#4 Kairi Sane (NXT Women's Champion)

Kairi's journey could be one of the most memorable ever.

Ring work: Kairi Sane is coming off of a match with Shayna Baszler which was one of the best women's matches all year. She actually hasn't had many opportunities to display all that she's capable of in NXT, but that should soon change.

Character work: Sane is one of the purest babyfaces on the roster. Her match with Shayna Baszler was a perfect clash of opposites, with Sane playing the scrappy, never-say-die fighting babyface so perfectly that not a soul in Brooklyn was rooting against her. That kind of unanimity of support is a rarity. Sane's expressions, mannerisms, and lovable demeanor overcome language issues.

Crowd connection: Kairi Sane's lovable persona and scrappy fighting style endears her to crowds, which want to see her win.

Prospects: If everything goes right, Kairi Sane could have one of the greatest NXT Women's Championship reigns ever. If recent developments are taken into account, she might currently be embroiled in a war with Shayna Baszler and her allies, the other UFC "four horsewomen," fighting alongside her longtime friend, Io Shirai.

Once the rematch with Shayna Baszler is behind her, a collision with the fast-rising Bianca Belair is inevitable, and beyond that, a rivalry with Io Shirai heading into WrestleMania season, which has potential to be the best women's title feud since Sasha and Bayley. If that is indeed the direction NXT is heading in, expect Sane's place to only go higher in the next few months.
