The EST of NXT looks to show Rhea Ripley why she should be more concerned with her than Charlotte Flair ahead of their NXT Women’s Title Match at TakeOver: Portland. Catch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.
Bianca Belair is locked in and ready to seize her moment at TakeOver: Portland, if her performance this week was any indication.
Making quick work of Santana Garrett — The E.S.T. took down Garrett with a vicious tackle and ruthless stomps before even removing her earrings — Belair spent more time afterward adddressing the disrespect she's felt during the recent war of words between NXT Women's Champion Rhea Ripley and Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair.
Ripley arrived to rebute Belair and insist she wasn't looking past her Portland opponent, but rather right at her — and fisticuffs ensued moments later. The E.S.T. got the better of this exchange, however, and Belair laid out The Nightmare with a thunderous K.O.D. to stand tall over the champion.
The scene left just one question — would we see the same image Sunday at TakeOver?
