Champion: Mandy Rose

Who Should Beat Her: Nikkita Lyons

Deciding who supplants Mandy Rose as NXT Women's Champion is actually really hard. Rose has been reborn as the leader of Toxic Attraction on NXT 2.0, and she's currently enjoying the best critical reviews of her entire WWE career as a 300+ day reigning champ.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon may look at Mandy and think she's ready for another go-around on Raw or SmackDown. If so, then they'll need to handpick her successor on the third show. Nikkita Lyons is one of the most likely candidates to experience what it's like to hold the same belt top-tier workers like Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Asuka did.

Why not? Nikkita has a striking look, and she's there to be worked on as a pet project. After all, who really thought that Rose would work out so well as NXT's leading female champion? Stranger things have happened than Lyons capturing the belt then using it as her own launching pad to main roster stardom.
