Just weeks after surviving a title defense against Nikki Cross, NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler will put her prize on the line against Toni Storm on the NXT U.K. Championship special on WWE Network.
There is some serendipity to the match, as both Superstars were semifinalists in last year’s Mae Young Classic, albeit in different brackets. Storm was defeated by Kairi Sane, while Baszler moved on to the finals where she finished as the runner-up to The Pirate Princess. Now, both Superstars get a second chance to clash thanks to the Australian’s victory over Killer Kelly and Isla Dawn on Night One of WWE’s return to London’s Royal Albert Hall. Her victory parade was short-lived, though, as Baszler threw up her spades hand signal in what should serve as an ominous reminder: Storm has the wind in her sails, but she’s heading into treacherous territory with The Queen of Spades lying in wait.
