It was a very memorable episode of NXT yesterday evening as Rhea Ripley unseated Shayna Baszler as the NXT Women’s Champion, ending the Queen of Spades’ 415-day reign. Ripley had the full boat of Full Sail behind her literally as she stood tall in the ring and got to celebrate her landmark moment among the NXT faithful.

Ripley got the now customary “title photo” with NXT operator, Triple H post match:
“An incredible main event and a new champion. One of the most dominant reigns over the @WWENXT Women’s division comes to end and another begins. @RheaRipley_WWE will be the one to lead #WWENXT into the new year… Congratulations. #AndNew”
