The NXT Women's Title may be the most prestigious prize underneath the WWE umbrella. A quick look at its lineage (and it's pleasingly quick) ranks it alongside New Japan Pro Wrestling's IWGP Heavyweight Title in terms of quantity and quality of reigns. Like the historic Japanese prize, the NXT strap has only changed hands six times since 2013. In much the same way the likes of AJ Styles and Kazuchika Okada were afforded lengthy reigns with the prize, the six women trusted with the honour of the holding gold on the developmental brand were arguably the best in their entire field as they did so.
Following victory in a pleasing TakeOver: WarGames Fatal Four Way, Ember Moon became the latest to join NXT's most elite club, and looks set to remain on top in the short-term at least following the sudden ascension of half her rivals to the main roster as part of Absolution and The Riott Squad.
The big singles contest NXT currently has to offer is unquestionably a battle between Moon and Mae Young Classic winner Kairi Sane, but the prior treatment of the title suggests this will be saved at very least for the TakeOver due the night before WrestleMania 34.
