Based just on what's going on right now in NXT, it's pretty clear that Bayley and Nia Jax are the two top contenders for Asuka and the NXT Women's Championship. Given her win over Bayley on Wednesday's episode of NXT, Nia Jax may well be ahead in that particular race. Who should get the next title shot?
Bayley is ready for the main roster, there's money in the girl if Triple H can keep Vince from screwing with her character and booking. After all, how often do you see grown men wearing the merchandise of a female wrestler like bright blue t-shirts with the words "I'm A Hugger" in big yellow letters? Bayley has that sweet, wholesome, gutsy underdog vibe about her and it has the potential to carry her far on the main roster.
Nia Jax needs more work before there's even a thought of moving her to the main roster. She's improved a lot, she has a unique look and she does stand out. She's not as flashy or athletic as some of the other women, obviously, nor does she rely on any real degree of sex appeal. What Nia is missing, in my opinion, is that sense of intimidation. She doesn't seem like she's a "monster" so much as she's just a big ol' gal with Samoan heritage that's twice as heavy as most of the other women on the roster. If they can make her ferocious instead of aloof, I think there's potential there.
I think Nia Jax has more to gain from a bout with Asuka than Bayley. I don't see Bayley regaining the NXT Women's Championship, nor do I see Nia Jax beating Asuka for it if given the chance. However, Nia Jax needs the exposure and she needs the experience of working with Asuka whereas, as I said earlier, Bayley is ready for the main roster. If they can make Nia Jax look like a ferocious beast while simultaneously making Asuka look like a near unbeatable champion, then Jax can really come out of the whole thing looking good even with a loss.
