– Speaking of the NXT Women’s Title, Triple H took to Twitter last night to comment on Io Shirai becoming the new #1 contender to Flair for a future title shot. As noted, Shirai won a Ladder Match over Tegan Nox, Dakota Kai, Mia Yim, Chelsea Green and Candice LeRae.
“An amazing effort by all the women in this #LadderMatch. A win by @shirai_io means she’s the #1 contender… @shirai_io vs @MsCharlotteWWE for the @WWENXT women’s championship??? As a wise man once said, HELL YES!!!!! #WeAreNXT,” Triple H tweeted.
