In the aftermath of the Royal Rumble, Rhea Ripley challenged Flair to a match at WrestleMania for her NXT Women's Championship, even though Ripley still had a title defense against Bianca Belair at NXT TakeOver: Portland to worry about. The Nightmare successfully defended her title against The EST of NXT, but Flair appeared after the match, laying out both wrestlers and accepting that challenge.

Two weeks later, on NXT, Belair stepped inside the squared circle against Flair, looking for retribution. This was a match between two of the most athletic, powerhouses the women's division has ever seen. They were given just over 10 minutes to work the main event and they didn't waste a second of it.

This back and forth affair showcased just how evenly matched these two women are, and that is saying something given Flair is on the road to becoming the greatest women's wrestler of all-time (in WWE, at least). There were fans who thought this match was a needless loss for Belair to take, but she was protected, as it took a spear and the Natural Selection for Flair to put Belair away and pick up the win.

Like so many other NXT stars with promising futures, Belair has disappeared since moving up to the main roster. An easy way to strap a rocket to Belair's back would be to build her up, before having her face The Queen on pay-per-view and get her win back.
