Rhea Ripley will team with Io Shirai to face Charlotte Flair and a partner of her choice
Rhea Ripley and Io Shirai are both getting their chance at Charlotte Flair and the NXT Women’s Championship come NXT TakeOver: In Your House — but they want a piece of The Queen sooner.
This is an opportunity that belongs to me.

But @RealKingRegal I don’t want to wait!
Give me Charlotte before!!!!!!!!😈@WWENXT #WWENXT #NXTTakeOver https://t.co/FiD3tuAMBS
One of these statements I actually agree with... @RealKingRegal I don’t wanna wait to get my hands on the self proclaimed “Queen” either. https://t.co/bsn7ZECYYL

NXT General Manager William Regal took notice, and the two top challengers to The Queen’s throne will get exactly what they’re looking for tonight as they team up to face Flair and a partner of her choice.
I understand the desire for competition...so ahead of the #NXTWomensChampionship match at #NXTTakeOver, @shirai_io and @RheaRipley_WWE will team up against @MsCharlotteWWE and a partner of her choosing THIS WEEK on @WWENXT.

Can The Nightmare and The Joshi Judas coexist to send a message to the champion ahead of TakeOver? Meanwhile, The Queen hasn’t exactly endeared herself to her peers since returning to the black-and-gold brand. Whom will she call upon as her partner?
