Rhea Ripley will finally receive what she’s been after for weeks, and Shayna Baszler might just make her regret it.
The Queen of Spades granted The Nightmare an opportunity at her NXT Women’s Championship in two weeks’ time after leaving her lying in the ring.
What was originally supposed to be a one-on-one contest between Ripley and the treasonous Dakota Kai devolved into all-out NXT Women’s division mayhem.
Two weeks removed from her heinous WarGames trickery, this time Kai was caught in the thick of a setup. Instead of entering the ring, Ripley brought out Mia Yim, who sought revenge for her attack at the hands of Kai back at TakeOver.
The incensed Head Baddie in Charge and Kai’s newfound aggression made for a all-out melee that eventually spilled backstage.
Ripley was pleased, but unable to admire the fruits of her plan for long with Baszler coming to the ring with Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke in tow. The Nightmare fought valiantly — even escaping the Kirifuda Clutch twice — but the numbers disadvantage against three-fourths of the MMA Four Horsewomen proved too much to overcome.
Shafir and Duke’s assistance allowed Baszler to finally lock in the feared maneuver until Ripley was left unconscious.
The Queen of Spades then announced she would defend her title against Ripley in two weeks, her warning shot having landed emphatically.
