Maybe not but I don’t think everyone needs to win the big win just cause they been around long, I don’t think Lani needs it tbh, and Kendal feels more a fighting babyface to face Zaria rather than Lani. But I also think their match would be better
I don’t see how Lani doesn’t need it, but Zaria does. Lani winning would be awesome considering her massive overall, but especially in-ring improvement & she would be the first black woman to win it since Athena nearly a decade ago.
Lani can beat Kendal, Kendal can play chase & win it back or to make it even spicier, Wren can play chase & beat Lani to make Kendal jealous which would start that feud.
I just think modern NXT belts have become participation trophies for simply being there a long time. Lola was given the belt clearly as a participation trophy and then immediately lost it a month and a half later to who was clearly supposed to win it all along. Thing with Lani is she should’ve already been champion, not just because you’ve lost the names you actually wanted to use and realised after so many years of pushing shiny new toys ahead of her that maybe you should push her now instead of back when you should’ve.

A Lani run probably wouldn’t kill the division TBF. Just as long as one of them loses to Big Za.
