3. Rhea Ripley
Ripley has had an amazing second half of 2019. The first half of the year Ripley continued to hone her craft in NXT UK and prepare/get prepared for her mega push over the pond on NXT.
It all began when she appeared on NXT TV out of nowhere to challenge Shayna Baszler. From there she never looked back and taken the WWE by storm. The roll she has been on just over the past three months has seen her beat Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks in a brilliant triple threat match on SmackDown. She Captained and won the first-ever women’s WarGames. She Captained and won the first-ever NXT vs. Raw vs. SmackDown Survivor Series match and finally, she captured the NXT Women’s Championship by defeating one of the most dominant champions in the history of NXT, Shayna Baszler.
Ripley ended that show lofted high on the shoulders of her peers in celebration for culminating one hell of a fantastic year.
