MJ Jenkins vs Rhea Ripley

This is a match between 2 women who are currently signed to NXT but have not appeared on NXT yet.

New NXT signee MJ Jenkins will face off against Rhea Ripley who competed in the 1st Mae Young Classic. While Rhea Ripley is more of a powerhouse, MJ Jenkins has a more hybrid style. While MJ Jenkins uses a Gory Neckbreaker as a finishing move while Rhea Ripley uses a Full Nelson Slam as a finishing move.

The Case for MJ Jenkins: MJ Jenkins is new to WWE while Rhea Ripley has been here since the first Mae Young Classic. WWE may want to showcase MJ Jenkins throughout the tournament like they showcased Rhea Ripley last year, who managed to make it to the second round of last year's Mae Young Classic. MJ Jenkins's main advantage is that she is a fresher face.

The Case For Rhea Ripley: WWE has been teasing that Rhea Ripley has a new attitude. WWE will probably want to showcase her newfound aggressiveness throughout the tournament so that she can put over a face like Tegan Nox later in the tournament.

Rhea Ripley is also set to be an integral part of the NXT UK Women's Division so WWE might see her as more of a priority than a newcomer like MJ Jenkins.

Final Prediction: Rhea Ripley defeats MJ Jenkins to move on to the second round.
