Rhea Ripley confronted Shayna Baszler after Xia Li def. Vanessa Borne
Shayna Baszler may have delivered the clinching victory for NXT at Survivor Series, but she also tasted defeat at the hands of a hungry challenger at TakeOver: WarGames — and Rhea Ripley didn’t wait long to remind her.
The Queen of Spades — with Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir in tow — seized the ring after Xia Li defeated Vanessa Borne in one-on-one action, a matchup that “The Vision” demanded after Li injured her ally Aliyah earlier this month.
Initially able to ward off Shafir and Duke, Li was eventually overwhelmed by the three-on-one disadvantage, leaving Baszler and company to stand tall in the ring. From there, the NXT Women’s Champion was free to bask in her massive win against SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley and Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch this past Sunday at Survivor Series.
Ripley was quick to interrupt Baszler, though, and The Nightmare promised that she would soon once again top The Submission Magician, except this time it would be for her coveted title.
