#5 Shouldn’t happen: Team Baszler picks up a win

Rhea Ripley has an important point to prove

The reigning NXT Women’s Champion, Shayna Baszler, is undoubtedly a force to reckon with. She has several accomplishments under her belt that cements her status as one of the most promising Superstars in WWE today.

She is set to lead her team against Rhea Ripley at the first-ever Women’s WarGames match. Ripley is the only person on the current roster that poses a serious threat to Baszler’s championship reign.

Their rivalry is expected to turn into an extended feud that might not end this year. In the past, we have seen Baszler silence her opponents right at the beginning of a feud. But this rivalry has huge potential and can become one of the most memorable feuds on the Black and Gold brand.

To achieve this, Baszler needs to acknowledge Ripley as a threat. Her team already has an advantage ahead of the historic match but that shouldn’t overshadow Ripley’s determination to prove that she has what it takes to become the next champion.

If Team Baszler wins the match, the narrative could turn one-sided for the rest of their feud. However, a win for Team Ripley will boost the captain’s confidence and she could capitalize on that momentum to take on the Women’s Champion in the coming weeks.
