WWE's Charlotte Flair Beats Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania; Becomes NXT Champion

Tonight's second night of WrestleMania action featured a stacked set of matches, but not just between WWE superstars. It also featured a bit of NXT, courtesy of NXT Champion Rhea Ripley. After accepting Rhea's challenge and flooring Ripley on her own show, tonight's contest between the Queen and the NXT Champ was highly anticipated, and it most certainly delivered. Both stars hit with power and speed right from the get-go, but after an incredibly physical match, it was Charlotte Flair who stood tall.

Ripley would attack Charlotte's back with powerful kicks and punches, while Charlotte would attack Ripley's knee, something she also did when she bumrushed Ripley on NXT.

The knee attack on Ripley worked, as even when Ripley got off some offense she would have to falter quickly to hold the knee, though she powered through it anyway.

The two kept up the pace, hitting each other with brutal punches and kicks, followed by several submission attempts. At one point though Charlotte locked in a submission that Ripley couldn't power through, and she would tap to Flair, making Flair the new NXT Champ.
