6 Female NXT Superstars who could be in the Royal Rumble 2020

#2 Toni Storm

Toni Storm has the distinction of both winning a Mae Young Classic and the NXT UK Women's Championship. Ripley swapped NXT brands after dropping her title so will Storm now join Ripley on the Black and Gold brand after dropping the NXT UK Championship to Kay Lee Ray?

The former Champ was a member of Team NXT at Survivor Series but was technically the first member of the brand's team to be eliminated. Shirai and LeRae left the match earlier due to "injury" but returned later in the bout to help Ripley pick up the win. They have been considered survivors of the match alongside Ripley, making Storm the first elimination.

Prior to NXT being treated on the same level of RAW and SmackDown, it would have seemed like Storm would be in line for a main roster call-up. But with a level playing field, she might simply join NXT. A big step forward for her would be as a participant of the upcoming Royal Rumble match. The fans know who she is and have seen her work.

She's more than ready for the next chapter of her career and it should start in the battle royale next month.
