#2 Worst: Rhea Ripley loses to Charlotte Flair
I see what WWE is trying to do by having Charlotte Flair defeat Rhea Ripley. As the NXT Champion, the company plans to use her star power to counter AEW's weekly programming. But at the same time, I wonder if putting the title on her was the right move for NXT.
Charlotte Flair could have been a big deal in NXT even without the Championship. In the same way that Shayna Baszler needed a big win on the big stage but lost to Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley needed a big win too, but she would succumb to Charlotte Flair. One can even go so far as to say that having Austin Theory and Angel Garza losing to The Street Profits was the third nail in the coffin for NXT.

The Four Horsewomen are already brands in their own right and they could have really created new stars had they lost to these NXT Superstars, but I'm guessing that WWE may have other plans for the said stars over the coming months.
