Last week on NXT, the NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair competed in her first match on the brand since winning the title at WrestleMania 36 from Rhea Ripley.

Flair handpicked Mia Yim to be her first opponent back on the Black & Gold brand, and even though The HBIC gave a tough fight to the Champion, we saw Flair make her tap out to the Figure-Eight leg lock.

After their match was over, Io Shirai arrived to challenge Flair to a title match for NXT next week. While Shirai will be looking to bag her first title in WWE by defeating Flair, NXT must pull off a swerve this week.

The brand must allow the new heel Candice LeRae to interfere in the match and cost Shirai the title. This will allow Flair to extend her reign while protecting Shirai in defeat. A rivalry between Shirai and LeRae will be best for business at this point as they are the two top female wrestlers on the brand at the moment.

It will also allow Shirai a chance to turn babyface in the process and possibly go after the title once again after a few months, winning it with the backing of the NXT Universe.
