The WWE is looking to do something special at the next big NXT event October 7th and that’s with the announcement that Sasha Banks will be trying to regain the NXT Womens Championship by facing Bayley in a rematch from their NXT Takeover match in Brooklyn that stole the show. Not only that, but the match is going to be the main event and a 30-minute Ironman match.

This is really a huge step for the WWE in putting the women in the main event and giving them at least 30-minutes to work an Ironman/Ironwoman match where the one with the most pinfalls or submissions after 30-minutes wins. I am happy for Bayley who has really grown on me and deserves to be where she is and I am more than happy for Sasha Banks who has quickly become the top woman out of NXT, even surpassing Charlotte, in my opinion. Sasha Banks is money and will generate tons of cash for the WWE as well as make some great television for the fans. This is definitely a huge vote of confidence that Triple H and the WWE are putting on these two ladies and I know their match will be great. I can’t help but hope that this is a trial to see how it plays on NXT before seeing something like this actually happen on WWE television. In my opinion, they should have built up Charlotte vs Nikki Bella and made it into the main event for RAW but the WWE is hesitant not because they don’t trust the women, but because they can’t trust the fans who regularly hijack shows with chants.
