WWE: 5 wrestlers who can win their first NXT Women’s Championship in 2020

One of the most prestigious championships in WWE is the NXT Women’s Championship. It has been handled with credibility that is rare in the pro wrestling landscape.

Each title change has seemed like a massive deal, too. The most recent example of this was Rhea Ripley defeating Shayna Baszler to become the new NXT Women’s Champion.

This was a must-see moment. Ripley had done a phenomenal job connecting with fans, and Baszler was portrayed as the most dominant women’s wrestler in WWE. Both women were made stronger with the outcome of the match. It sets up an encouraging outlook for the women’s division in 2020.

We don’t know how long or how successful of a run Rhea Ripley will have. She has everything you look for in a successful professional wrestler. Being the champion of such a popular brand like NXT carries its own set of expectations. It is best to reserve judgment on what kind of champion Ripley will be, and let her run as champion tell its own story

Here are five women who could win their first NXT Women’s Championship in 2020, just as Ripley won her first to finish 2019.
