Winner: Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley was back on RAW last night, defeating Sarah Logan in a few minutes and demanding an answer from Charlotte Flair about a WrestleMania match.
The fact that Rhea Ripley is getting this much promotion from the company shows how high they are on her. The timing works out, given that NXT just moved to the USA Network four months ago, but one gets the feeling that never have the higher-ups in the company been higher on an NXT Women's Champion - except perhaps Charlotte.
This match just got a whole lot likelier after last night, with Shayna Baszler's ambush of Becky Lynch. Now, we only need to see if the former will take place at Elimination Chamber instead, which doesn't seem likely.
While Charlotte wasn't an ideal Royal Rumble winner this year, using it to get her embroiled in a program with Rhea Ripley would be the best way to go. Nobody wants to see Charlotte vs. Becky or Bayley again.
Even if Ripley loses her title to Charlotte, it would still be a win, because she would just be drafted to RAW or SmackDown straight afterward. And a win over Charlotte at WrestleMania might be even bigger for her.
We'll see!
