NXT- 5 Points to Note (19 December, 2018)

#2 The two other Horsewomen make their debut

And yes, they did lose their debut tag team match

Ronda Rousey has gone on to become the face of the RAW Women's Division. Shayna Baszler is clearly the MVP of the NXT Women's DIvision, right now. The two other Horsewomen, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir, entered the ring on this week's show, making a strong impression.

Unfortunately, they came up short against Dakota Kai and Io Shirai. The two veteran sports entertainers showcased their lightning flurry of moves and made short work of their opponents. But we're one step closer to the dream Horsewomen vs. Horsewomen match, that has been rumoured for many months now.

Congratulations on tonight’s victory @shirai_io. Let’s see if you can keep that momentum going, because you’ve qualified for next week’s #1 Contender Fatal 4-Way Match!

As this Tweet proves, Io Shirai seems to be in line for a big push in NXT. Could she take Kairi Sane's spot when Sane gets called up to the main roster, presumably after WrestleMania 35?
