Rhea Ripley has been around Dominik Mysterio, protecting the North American Champion from every threat possible. With all the cheap tricks in the book, the two have managed to keep their titles and eliminate competition one by one. However, it seems like, in an attempt to protect Dom, Ripley has painted a target on her back.

With the latest edition of NXT rolling out, Ripley might face a new challenger, making her return, and disrupting her reign as champion.

NXT delivered a great show after a highly acclaimed Great American Bash. While Dom retained his title, it was mainly because of the interference by Ripley. Now on the latest NXT, Dragon Lee challenged Dominik Mysterio for the North American Championship at NXT, next week. While the challenge was expected, it’s the response by a fellow NXT superstar, who has been out of WWE for the last 7 months, that has got everyone talking.

In the post shared by WWE and Dragon Lee, NXT superstar Nikkita Lyons commented on the challenge issued by Lee. She quoted:Sheeesshhh let’s go Dragonnn 🐉” . To which Lee replied by saying: “ I can count on you my friend.”

The response has triggered speculations among fans who think this could lead to a return by Lyons who suffered a torn ACL in her right knee, in January, to possibly feud with Ripley in the coming weeks.
