NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler will do battle one more time with Kairi Sane at NXT TakeOver: War Games 2018 which will take place the day before Survivor Series in Los Angeles California. This time, however, the match will be contested under 2 Out Of 3 Falls rules. This will be the fourth televised match at a major event between these two and it’s slightly skewed in Shana’s favor as far as the record is concerned. They last fought at WWE Evolution where Shayna’s fellow Four Horsewomen of MMA Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir interfered and gave the victory to the Queen of Spades.

The 2 Out Of 3 Falls match is a staple of NXT and is often used when a feud is highly competitive and a decisive winner must be determined.

After Shayna Baszler reclaimed the NXT Women’s Title in controversial fashion over Kairi Sane at WWE Evolution, the two arch-rivals will write another brutal chapter in their red-hot rivalry when they tear into each other at TakeOver: WarGames II, where they will face off in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match.

The volcanic tensions between these two Superstars reached a new peak at WWE Evolution, where Baszler pulled out all stops against a laser-focused Sane in their hard-hitting NXT Women’s Championship battle. As Sane thwarted her opponent’s signature coldblooded offense with her own brand of killer instinct, Baszler eventually opted for some assistance from her fellow Four Horsewomen of MMA, Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke. The helping hand by Baszler’s pals guided The Queen of Spades to a victory over The Pirate Princess, making her NXT’s first-ever two-time Women’s Champion. Due to the nature in which this match was won, it was no surprise when Sane invoked her rematch clause.

Baszler and Sane’s contentious rivalry has simmered above blue flame for over a year, dating back to the Mae Young Classic Final in 2017. Since then, The Queen of Spades and The Pirate Princess have been continuously charring this angst in a series of epic confrontations. Now, they face off in an endurance-testing battle in which the first Superstar to claim two falls wins the match and NXT Women’s Title.

See who walks out of the STAPLES Center as NXT Women’s Champion when NXT TakeOver: WarGames II streams live Saturday, Nov. 17, at 7 ET/4 PT, only on WWE Network.
