5 WWE NXT stars who could help boost RAW's ratings

#1 Rhea Ripley could boost WWE's ratings

Despite being one of the youngest stars on the NXT roster, Rhea Ripley has already achieved a lot in WWE. The star was the inaugural NXT UK Women's Champion and was the first female Australian singles champion in WWE.

Since moving from NXT UK, Rhea Ripley has gone from strength to strength on the Black and Gold Brand. In later 2019, Ripley led her team to victory in the first-ever women's WarGames match at NXT TakeOver: WarGames that year. On the same weekend, she secured the win for Team NXT at WWE Survivor Series.

Not long after this, Ripley defeated the longest-reigning NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler to win the title in a huge moment at the end of 2019.

In 2020, Rhea Ripley became the first NXT star to defend a title at WrestleMania. She took on Charlotte Flair in the Performance Center at WrestleMania 36 but unfortunately dropped the title to the two-time champion.

Rhea Ripley has been one of the defending stars of NXT over the past year. For quite a while, she has been a favorite to win the 2021 Royal Rumble. Given Rhea Ripley's status and popularity in NXT, a move to RAW for the star would be a great way to boost their flagging ratings.
