Adam Cole's title reign may be in jeopardy

Kayden Carter was the unfortunate recipient of Rhea Ripley's Brutality

Over on the WWE Network, the Era was still talking over what had happened to Adam Cole on the USA Network. With Riddle as his new #1 contender, challenging for the NXT Championship next week, Cole will have to come up with a game plan for the Original Bro, and fast.

Rhea Ripley vs Kayden Carter

Carter started fast, rushing the inaugural NXT UK Women's Champion. However, a running dropkick sent Carter to the ground. In the corner, she was battered with heavy forearm shots to the back. A delayed vertical suplex gave Ripley a near fall.

Ripley attempted to stomp the life out of her opponent. Carter avoided and sent her into the corner with a pop-up hurricanrana. Using the ropes, a springboard hurricanrana sent Ripley to the ground. A springboard victory roll followed by a kick to the jaw nearly gave her the upset victory. Ripley responded with a Riptide, though, ending Carter's night after a surprising flurry.

Results: Rhea Ripley defeated Kayden Carter via pinfall.

Ripley not only stood up to Shayna Baszler on her debut with NXT, but left the Queen of Spades shaken. With a dominant performance like she had tonight, the NXT Women's Champion might be overlooking her title defense next week, fearing what may happen once she has to face Ripley again.
