6 Ups And 2 Downs From Last Night's WWE NXT (April 20)

4. Nia Jax's Path To Dominance

Bayley may have beaten Nia Jax at TakeOver: London, but Jax is still a force with which to be reckoned and a sure contender to the NXT Women's Championship in the future. Likewise, Bayley and Asuka are currently at the center of the division, but it still needs to be focused on more than two women.

Nia Jax took a step back into contention this week with a huge win over Deonna Purrazzo. The bout was a quick squash, showing just how powerful Jax is and what a threat she can be to any woman on the brand at any time.

I fully expect Asuka's first TakeOver title defense to be a rematch with Bayley, but when Asuka retains the belt, maybe a feud with Jax is next. It would be interesting to see a clash between the two most dominant women on not just the NXT roster, but the entire WWE roster.
