5 events taking place for the first time at WrestleMania: Rare stipulation, huge title defense

#2 NXT Championship defense

The NXT Women's Championship will be on the line

This year's Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair made a bombshell announcement when she decided to challenge the NXT Women's Champion Rhea Ripley for the title. This will be the first time that the NXT Championship will be contested for at the Show of Shows.

Charlotte Flair has accomplished everything that there has to in the world of WWE. She was the one to break Asuka's undefeated streak, she has been the RAW Women's Champion as well as the SmackDown Women's Champion. She is a homegrown WWE Superstar and possibly the best female Superstar this industry has seen.

Rhea Ripley, on the other hand, isn't one to back out from a challenge. She is only 23 years of age and has had an incredible run in the independent circuit before associating herself with WWE. In WWE, the Aussie star went on to become the inaugural NXT UK Women's Champion, becoming the first female Australian champion.

Currently the NXT Champion, Ripley isn't someone The Queen should take lightly. Their match may easily be the one that steals the show.
