11 Ups & 1 Down From Last Night's WWE NXT (Oct 30)

4. WAR

Women's WarGames

Shayna Baszler's post-match arrival appeared to spell doom for a downed Tegan Nox until Rhea Ripley appeared yet again to stake her claim as the next Women's Champion.

She was then decked by a p*ssed off Bianca Belair, who suddenly found herself in the middle of an all-out brawl that then featured Candice LeRae, Io Shirai and The MMA Horsewomen.

Stationed on his trusty platform, William Regal arrived on the scene not to aid a cease fire but to ready the next big explosion. With one almighty declarative, he announced the first ever Women's WarGames match, with captains Baszler and Ripley confirmed later in the show.

A victory for booking as well as the bombast of the moment, this was spellbinding.
