#4. First NXT Championship's defense at WrestleMania

youtube-cover

This weekend Rhea Ripley makes history when she becomes the first NXT Champion to be given the honor of defending her Championship at WWE's biggest show of the year. Ripley has been pushed harder than any other star in WWE over the past year and was able to dethrone Shayna Baszler to become NXT Women's Champion back in 2019.

Ripley becomes another woman on Charlotte's list, as the former 10-time Women's Champion wants to add to the women she had managed to defeat at WrestleMania, a list that includes Asuka, Becky Lynch, and Sasha Banks.

Charlotte herself is a former NXT Women's Champion, but The Queen is out to prove that she is the best female wrestler in WWE at present and given the waves that Ripley has created through the WWE Women's Division over the past year, it makes sense that Charlotte has put a target on her back.

The Nightmare will be living her dream at WrestleMania, but The Queen could be the one walking out with her original piece of silverware if she can dethrone Ripley.
