Kairi Sane Wins Women’s Title At NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4

There is a new WWE NXT Women’s Champion and that’s Kairi Sane. As seen at Saturday’s (August 18, 2018) WWE NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4 event in Brooklyn, New York at the Barclays Center at the Center on the WWE Network, Sane beat Shayna Baszler to win the title.

If you recall, Sane defeated Baszler in the tournament finals of the first Mae Young Classic that took place last year. She was then signed by the WWE and placed in the NXT brand.

Sane is the eighth champion in the history of the NXT Women’s Title as the first champion was Paige in 2013. Baszler held the title for 133 days after beating Ember Moon to win it at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans during WrestleMania 34 weekend on April 7, 2018 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The fallout from this match will continue once WWE holds the next set of TV tapings this Thursday in Winter Park, Florida at Full Sail University. It’s likely that Baszler will get her rematch for the gold on an upcoming episode of NXT or perhaps later this year at the next Takeover special.

The company is slated to hold their next Takeover event, NXT TakeOver: Los Angeles, during Survivor Series pay-per-view weekend on Saturday, November 17, 2018 in Los Angeles, California at the Staples Center.
