#4 Shayna Baszler vs Kairi Sane vs Bianca Belair vs Io Shirai (NXT Women's Championship)

Baszler might lose her title.
Baszler might lose her title.

Over the past year, Shayna Baszler has been the Queen of NXT. She forcefully took the NXT Women's Championship from Ember Moon at Takeover: New Orleans before dominating the entire division. Aside from a surprise loss to Kairi Sane the last time NXT was in Brooklyn, Baszler has been unstoppable. She won back the belt at Evolution, this time with Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir by her side. That being said, this match might be her biggest challenge to date.

She will defend the title against Kairi Sane, Bianca Belair, and Io Shirai. Sane and BelAir both had Takeover matches with the Queen of Spades, so a victory for either of them would be doubtful.

Shirai, on the other hand, is receiving her first championship match in NXT here. She has looked pretty good so far, with her beautiful Moonsault standing out by far. NXT could book a title change in a way that Baszler would not even be defeated before she moves to the main roster. It makes so much sense and keeps Shayna Baszler as the second most dominant female in NXT history, after Asuka.

Prediction: Io Shirai wins but Shayna Baszler does not get pinned
