I thought this would be a good question to ponder after Mandy Rose just lost her title to Big Evil Roxanne Perez. I rly hope I'm not misremembering the length of Io's reign.

I always forget that Kairi had the title between Shayna's reigns and it wasn't just one super long reign for her.

Mandy had some decent matches even if the reign went too long.
Shayna matches were always a dead spot on takeovers

Io and it aint even f***ing close.
Every single woman she faced came out better from having faced her and she gave so many women IMO their best non gimmick matches , she was the tide that lifted all boats that division was never better than when Io was it's champion.
Even matches where she isn't defending her title were gawd damn memorable...Vs Sasha at GAB being the obvious one.

Honestly, I feel the NXT women's division was coasting on its reputation when Iyo was champ. She was just having really damn good matches to make up for the lack of interesting stories and feuds. I even remember people complaining about her not being on TV when she was champ.

I can’t believe I’m voting Mandy but here we are. Lmao seriously it kinda hit me "oh that's Actually my answer" when I thought about it cause Asuka's reign I completely blank out on where it went after the middle half, didn't like Shayna's reign at all, and I wasn't watching much of any wrestling when Io's reign was going strong so I don't rly know how that played out beyond Io Shirai being as good as ever. |

This is a really difficult question because Asuka is by far my favorite talent of the four but all I really remember about her reign is her beating Ember Moon like four times then bouncing.

I am going against the grain and say Shayna
She was a crazy dominant champ and basically learned on the job as she was still green when she beat Ember but i'll give her the nod just off the fact when she was champ the womens division was in transition after losing the Horsewomen, Asuka, Iiconics etc but by the end of her reign they had the strongest division and were the main draw

Hers would be the top if not for that ending Like they should had her put over Ember clean and Ember was legit the only one she cheated against to win which put her over big time as a risk but Vince called her up and all we got was a hug |

Mandy. Even if you don't like her and even if it did overstay it's welcome at least there was a decent amount of camp with a lot of the Toxic Attraction segments to keep things interesting and with the exception of probably Wendy Choo it felt like all of her challengers had a good chance of beating her which made her reign more interesting.
The other three were just so freaking boring. Especially Shayna's. I always forget that she had it twice too with the Kairi blip. And one of her reigns is STILL the second longest ever. Also her two goons were horrible and clearly only had jobs to keep Ronda happy. They booked Asuka so strong that it felt like nobody ever could beat and in fact nobody ever did beat her as she lost it I think due to injury. With Iyo the storylines weren't there. Great wrestler sure but I need more then that.

Add in another point from me for Io here.
Her ending is also the best one...a title reign that did not over stay its welcome and ended exactly when most were like it is time for her to drop it and she did it putting over Raquel.

Candice actually became more than Garganos wife (which was the running meme about her for the longest time) because of her match with Io....hell the entirety of the Halloween Havoc feud is basically the origins of The Way....Theory helps Johnny win the NA title and Indi almost gets Candice the womens title. Everytime Io and Candice get around one another it is always for the better. |

They booked Asuka so strong that it felt like nobody ever could beat and in fact nobody ever did beat her as she lost it I think due to injury. I think the injury was a work to both cover her main roster callup and to protect the undefeated streak. But yeah, it dragged by the end for the same reasons every long dominant run does. Eventually the body count outranks the number of available bodies in the division. |

No matter who we all voted for, can we agree that they need to stop with these 1-year long (plus a couple months) reigns for a while?
