I only actually caught the last few minutes of the match after Dynamite had ended, but that was one hell of a finish. Laid it on so incredibly thick with all the usual fakeouts you'd see with something like this, that's exactly the kind of shit that Baszler's gotten by on time and time again, only to have Rhea power through all of it en route to winning very decisively. Excellent structuring there that really whipped the crowd into a frenzy and made Shayna finally losing the belt feel like a huge deal.
Rhea better lose the belt to someone named Edelgard. Yes I know it's not even pronounced the same, let me have my stupid joke.

The last 5 mins of that match was damn good
This whole match put Rhea over big time and Shayna played her part big time. It felt like a main event and the women continue to be the draw

Armpits of danger. \m/
So, Baszler wins the Rumble and the title away from Becky @ WrestleMania, right?

For some reason Rhea winning and the whole post match ending reeked of Foley winning the title in 1999 and not saying its a bad thing.

I've been critical of Shayna, mostly since they dragged it out so long, but I'm glad she didn't just take the belt with her, or only lose it to some main roster woman or something. Rhea was 100 percent the way to go.
Wouldn't mind her getting called up now, though, because the NXT women's division really doesn't *need* Shayna anymore. She's already had pretty much all the big matches I could think of, and deserves a promotion.

Now the guessing game of where the NXT womens division goes now.
Io is the end game for Rhea
So who fills out the time between now and then....Dakota I guess but I assume she will be tangled with Teagan
I guess they can go with Bianca because Io wont be till mania TakeOver and Bianca gave Rhea IMO her best match in NXT so far I thought weeks ago.

I think the end game is Io. But there is only one Takeover between now and Wrestlemania weekend. So I feel like Rhea is holding onto the title until Summerslam weekend. It's possible she loses it before then, but I dunno. Takeover: Portland -> Takeover: Tampa -> Takeover: ?? -> Takeover: Boston |

That card is going to be packed with two Royal Rumble matches, a WWE title match, a Universal Title match, a RAW Women's Championship match (likely), and a Smackdown Women's Championship match (also likely). All of the matches I listed above seem very likely or almost a lock. |

I think the ideal would be for Rhea to lose the title around June-ish. You don't want her to be a flash in the pan but you shouldn't immediately follow one excruciatingly long reign with another. Six months would be plenty.

Honestly I hope its Io who dethrones her, but you already have places like reddit turning on her because "she doesn't connect with the audience like Rhea does", and "she can't promo".
Which is dumb because those statements are false, but whatever.

Does not connect with the audience? as in the woman who was the most over during wargames and svs Guess it rings true the fools do come out at night. Anyways they set it up for Io to dethrone her......because they have not touched each other since that confrontion they had after Ios match with Kayden. And it may just be how I see it....but Io being in the only other womens match tonight was a sign they want you to know they are keeping Rhea and Io close but not pulling the trigger on it yet. |

I dig avalanche versions of finishers ending matches, so Rhea winning with an avalanche Riptide gets a big thumbs up from me.

I think that was just a coincidence. Dakota actually declared her intentions to go after the title. So did Bianca (on twitter). Io hasn't said anything yet. |

Six months would be plenty. Well with the way TV is, you can build her up well with the title. She nor Io need long reigns with the title, just the competition that the division brings so between now and April, Rhea should have had a few title defenses under her belt Io and Rhea is the long game for Mania weekend even though I always considered Summerslam weekend the Mania type show for NXT. In the mean time, you can have Rhea face Bianca, and throw her into the Tegan/Kai feud as well since they all have history |

Congrats to Rhea- what a future ahead of her, and for Shayna for that matter. She’s seemingly heading to Raw or Smackdown. Hopefully Smackdown as they need some help in their women’s division. Here’s hoping she gets to leave her goof troop behind as well.
