The build-up to Shayna Baszler vs Rhea Ripley began last night
The women's division is full of talent right now, so WWE decided to showcase another women's match this week on NXT which included Xai Li up against Vanessa Bourne. The Vision was hoping to get some revenge for her friend Aliyah after she faced Li and was kicked so hard in the fact that it broke her nose.

Sadly for Bourne, revenge didn't go to plan since the distraction from Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir meant that Li was able to deliver a kick for the win. This wasn't the end of her night though since Three of the Four Horsewomen of MMA had come out to send a message to another woman in the locker room and this time it was Li.
The entire segment was botchy as a kick from Li failed to connect with Baszler, Jessamyn Duke ran in a few seconds too late and The NXT Women's Champion almost tripped over after delivering a clothesline.

It was a segment that built into Rhea Ripley challenging Shayna Baszler, so at least this ended much better than it began.
