WWE NXT Preview: Adam Cole's next challenge, huge revenge match on the card (December 12, 2019)

#3 Rhea Ripley responds to Shayna Baszler

Will Rhea Ripley unleash the monster inside?

Last week, Shayna Baszler walked out during Dakota Kai vs Mia Yim and brutalized Rhea Ripley with the help of Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke. The three of the Four Horsewomen on show managed to take down Ripley who was left unconscious in the ring.

Before leaving, Baszler took the mic and announced that she will be defending her title against Ripley on December 18 and fired a warning for her opponent about the brutality that could transpire during their encounter.

Tonight, we can expect Ripley to respond to the Champion in a brief segment that is likely to end in a brawl. Both these Superstars have been engaged in a feud for a few weeks now and the build-up to their title bout is bound to include yet another exciting exchange of blows.

With the number game being a major disadvantage for Ripley last week, it will be interesting to see who backs her tonight if a brawl breaks out.
