Another NXT woman who has had a fast and productive start to her WWE career is Rhea Ripley. While many thought Toni Storm would be the first-ever NXT UK Women's Champion, it was Ripley who topped Storm in the tournament finals.

Although Storm did take the title from Ripley at Takeover: Blackpool, Ripley is still one of the top women on that brand - while also having appearances on NXT television. Being one of the more recognizable faces from both brands, it would be easy to have her show up in the match in order to familiarize her with fans who might not be familiar with her.

She's a legitimately tough woman and it would be interesting to see her interact with other powerhouses like Nia Jax and Dana Brooke. Ripley is someone that the NXT UK brand might be built around more, so this could simply be a one-off appearance a la Sane last year.
