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

#1 Shayna Baszler

Baszler is the current NXT Women's Champ

Not many of these choices are necessarily meant to be for surprise purposes but instead for the reason of being ready and deserving. There are others in NXT who are ready, but a lot of those women haven't had nearly the amount of exposure to the WWE Universe as the Superstars on this slideshow.

Baszler may have lost at WarGames, but she was victorious in the main event of Survivor Series. That's no small task. While she technically submitted Bayley, that win also gives her a victory over The Man, Becky Lynch. That's a huge accomplishment that will lead to bigger things in 2020 for the Queen of Spades.

That actually might start, however, with a step back at the next TakeOver. Baszler has done more than enough as Champion in NXT and it's time for someone else to run with the belt. It looks like Ripley could be the lady to dethrone the Queen of Spades since she pinned Baszler at WarGames.

Vince McMahon might have huge plans for her and it would make plenty of sense for her to enter the Royal Rumble. She's headed for a showdown with Becky Lynch at some point next year and it could even happen at WrestleMania 36. The title pictures on both RAW and SmackDown need some new blood instead of Alexa Bliss or Charlotte always challenging Bayley or Lynch. Baszler offers up a legit threat to any women on the main roster and that might show up once more in the 2020 Royal Rumble.
