Two days before they join NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler and Io Shirai in an every-woman-for-herself Fatal 4-Way Match for the title at TakeOver: New York, Kairi Sane and Bianca Belair will meet in singles action this week on WWE Network. NXT General Manager William Regal announced the match on Twitter, in response to Belair’s backstage confrontation with Sane on the March 20 edition of NXT.
The last time that The Pirate Princess squared off with The EST of NXT on WWE Network, it resulted in one of the most unforgettable matches of the inaugural Mae Young Classic. Since then, both Superstars have only grown as competitors, with Sane now a former NXT Women’s Champion and Belair adopting an un-de-fea-ted mindset that has propelled her to new heights. Given the stakes of TakeOver: New York’s Fatal 4-Way Match, it’s safe to assume that the ruthless Queen of Spades — not to mention, Shirai — will keep a close eye on this one.
Find out which Superstar will build momentum en route to Friday’s championship match when the high-flying Pirate Princess and the powerful EST of NXT throw down this Wednesday on the award-winning WWE Network.
