#2 Best: A heartwarming NXT reunion

As we just pointed out, Franky Monet's NXT debut was underwhelming. But what happened next was a great moment. Rhea Ripley came out to meet Raquel Gonzalez, the woman who sent her packing from NXT. The new RAW Women's Champion shared a hug with her, as the two clinked their titles.

Then, SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair came out. She joined the reunion as the limited NXT crowd went wild. A picture of the three, from a couple of years ago, then flashed up on the screen behind them. This was quite a heartwarming moment.

Gonzalez, Ripley, and Belair all won their titles during WrestleMania week, with the latter two doing so at the Show Of Shows. It represents a true shift in power for women's divisions all across the board.

Three new female stars were crowned during WrestleMania week, with all of them coming from (or still in) NXT.

Hopefully, they get the chance to show how good they are on their respective shows.

Raquel Gonzalez is in good hands on NXT, with history backing her to have a dominant reign as Champion. Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair are big enough stars to succeed on RAW and SmackDown, respectively.
