In her first major test as NXT UK Women’s Champion, Rhea Ripley went head-to-head with the mystical Isla Dawn.
Dawn evaded the titleholder’s onslaught and caused Ripley to charge into the steel ring post shoulder-first. Although this gave The White Witch her best opportunity to unseat Ripley, The Mosh Pit Kid somehow kicked out of Dawn’s patented bridge suplex, the dangerous maneuver that has laid out so many of her opponents.
Still in shock after Ripley’s kickout, Dawn would not get another chance, as Ripley avoided her challenger’s kick and executed the Riptide to retain her NXT UK Women’s Championship in her first title defense!
