After Bayley

[魔界5号]

Who is left to challenge Asuka outside of Nia Jax? Emma is gone, Eva is gone, Bayley will be gone, and no other girls except maybe Alexa Bliss have had the build up to be credible enough as a challenger. Unless they sign somebody like Ivelisse Velez or Candice LaRae this summer, there doesn't seem like many challengers for her.

Bayley will likely stick around until summer to headline the NXT road tours.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Bayley and Eva are sticking around, I'm guessing.

The good thing about there only being 4 or 5 Takeovers a year means you don't need THAT many challengers. You've got Nia (I think this will be over 2 Takeovers) like you say.. then Alexa and before you know it you're at the end of the year. By then you might have others. You can also bring the odd alumni back to fill the gap like Emma or Sasha just to tear the house down. They have plenty of time to build up other challengers by the time they need them though.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Emma might still get a title shot. There's no indication that she's "done" with NXT especially when her boyfriend Ryder has been working main roster and NXT concurrently this entire time.

Dana could get cleared any time now and you have an easy "revenge" feud for her.

[Heartbreaker]

Hopefully they start actually using Billie Kay because she's got a pretty cool "Femme Fatale" look going on in the NXT houseshows.

[A Platypus Rave]

I fully expect Emma and Eva (and in the tag ranks Ryder) back on NXT after Mania.

They also have people like Athena that haven't debuted, and really they can start letting the girls who have been jobbing start to win to gain credibility and also Bayley may stick around for a rematch.

I mean Sasha was still on NXT for like 2 cycles after being called up.

We won't hear crowds trying to awkwardly sing that song that apparently only English people can sing.

[oneday]

Peyton Royce of course!

[Professor Chaos]

That's why they're bringing in Velvet!

[PKO]

Nia is next, they can build the Aussie ladies up, Athena should get a strong debut...there's so many options.

I also imagine they'll be hiring another female Indy standout...though I'm not very familiar with who's out there at the moment. Maybe someone else from Japan?

[Sephiroth]

Didn't they sign Athena as well? They probably have her waiting in the wings.

[Snaptastic]

As much as it would probably be better for her to stick on NXT, I can't see them not calling up Bayley post-Mania.

As it is, I'm half expecting that there won't be no stopping us now during the triple threat at Mania, probably post bell.

Agreed with the women you listed. Wouldn't mind any of Shazza McKenzie, Santana Garrett, Ivie, Crazy Mary Dobson coming back for more regular work.

[abjordans]

I think they should bring Paige down to take her on. She isn't doing much.

[Pushed to the Moon]

They cut to Steph in the crowd for a reason! She's ready brother!

[Abdullah]

If Bayley gets called up, she'll probably still work NXT for a while like Owens and Sasha did. At least for a Takeover or two.

[Hanzo]

Heck, if Becky Lynch doesn't win tomorrow, send her back down to NXT and have her be the one to eventually beat Asuka for the belt. We never got NBexT anyway. The girl's good in the ring and come a long way on the mic. Come on, man, at least give her something. Plus, the NXT crowd still loves her to pieces.

["Mr Wonderdick" Dick Dastardly]

Bayley isn't done.

Crowd favorite Eva Marie, unbeatable super face steps up to win the title. The crowd adores her.
