NXT UK Women's Championship Match

Okay, so here's one of the most bizarre matches on the card for one very specific reason - there's been no announcement about it.

Why? Well, because the champion actually hasn't been crowned on NXT UK television.

There is an NXT UK Women's Champion, and WWE has even had her do press events holding the title, but we've only seen two episodes of the show and the title match, bizarrely, hasn't occurred - even though WWE confirmed the title would be defended at the event.

Will it be? Well, who knows? The match may be pulled from the card to allow WWE time to properly build the title win on television, but that would be slightly unfair to the women who were told they would wrestle on the historic pay-per-view - so beware, there will be spoilers below about the champion and most likely contender.

Rhea Ripley vs ???

Rhea Ripley is the first ever NXT UK Women's Champion. The woman she's slated to defend against? Well, it isn't completely confirmed, but it's thought to be Scotland's Isla Dawn.

The less said about this match, the better. Mainly because we aren't meant to know who the champion or challenger is with no official announcement coming - so it'll be interesting to see how this match is introduced if it happens.

My prediction: Both of these women are incredible talents and this will be amazing if the crowd gets behind it. Ripley is a powerhouse while Dawn has a unique style that sees a mesh of her dance and martial arts backgrounds. If it is Dawn, that is.

Either way, I think the only option is Ripley retaining, but both women will put on an incredible match!

One wildcard theory is that we may get Nikki Cross involved in some way, and switching brands.

Match length: Yet again, I think we get a ten-minute match here, maybe even a tad shorter. Dawn will get a nice showing but Ripley's power will be the feature, and the match will stay short so as not to lose the casual fans who may not be huge NXT UK fans.
