The WWE NXT Women’s Division is one of the most talent groupings in all of wrestling, and three more wrestlers made their presence felt on Friday Night SmackDown.
WWE are going full steam ahead with the build toward Survivor Series, and after Shayna Baszler showed up to stage a post-match attack against SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley, three more stars from NXT’s loaded Women’s Division made their mark.
First, Rhea Ripley and Tegan Nox defeated Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, who are known as Fire and Desire, in a tag team match. That was no surprise, because while Deville and Rose are a great tag team, the NXT stars need the rub and Ripley and Nox are on another level of dominance. (Both women are seen as two of the biggest rising stars in all of wrestling,)
Then, an even bigger star in Bianca Belair made her mark, absolutely destroying Carmella and Dana Brooke in a backstage segment. You have to watch it and stare in awe at how dominant and poised Belair is. She’s going to be one of WWE’s biggest stars in a few years. Just take a look at literally anything Charlotte Flair has said about the EST of NXT.
WWE fans were loving every minute of this episode of SmackDown, but especially the appearances by NXT’s talented women. It’s safe to say that Baszler, Belair, Nox, and Ripley stole the show.
Bianca Belair is just so magnificently brutal. There's star quality written all over her.

I am... absolutely stunned by what I am watching
This is INCREDIBLE
The submission from Rhea was CRAZY. You have to check it out!
I was also pinching myself during the entire show, by the way. Unreal work from NXT.
This is the official #Smackdown debut of future multiple time women's champion Rhea Ripley.

Remember the name, and enjoy watching her and Sonya Deville brutalise each other.#WWE #NXT
Sonya and Rhea were incredible. And both are going to be multi-time women’s titles if Vince McMahon knows what’s good for his company.
RHEA RIPLEY IS GONNA BE MONEY. SHE'S LEGIT. #SDLIVE

She tosses around Dana Brooke and Carmella.
Then, out comes Rhea Ripley and Tegan Nox to destroy Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.
ARE THEY WATCHING MY DREAMS AT NIGHT?! #SmackDown
Our dreams were certainly answered tonight!
I can’t wait to see how WWE uses the NXT Women’s Division throughout November into Survivor Series, because this was awesome! They have so much talent on that roster!
