Shayna Baszler will defend her NXT Women's Title against Mia Yim
Shayna Baszler is currently in her second reign as the NXT Women's Champion, having regained the title from Kairi Sane at the first-ever all women's pay-per-view, Evolution.

'The Queen of Spades' went on to defend her title successfully against Kairi Sane at TakeOver: WarGames, Bianca Belair at NXT TakeOver: Phoenix, and at TakeOver: New York, Baszler defended her title in a fatal four-way match against Shirai, Belair, and Sane, submitting Belair with a Kirifuda Clutch.
However, in the build-up to TakeOver: Toronto, a brand new title challenger has emerged in the form of Mia Yim and with the NXT Universe in full support of the latter, there is a solid chance that Yim might actually walk out of Toronto as the new NXT Women's Champion.
But, with Shayna Baszler dominating the NXT Women's Division for the past year now, it wouldn't make sense for WWE to take the title off Baszler at this point in time, unless WWE has any plans to bring up 'The Queen of Spades' to the main roster, which seems very unlikely, given how dominant Baszler has been as NXT Women's Champion.
