If the NXT Cruiserweight Championship is anything to go by, there should be optimism for these two titles. More added optimism, perhaps, due to how loaded the NXT <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2020\/02\/03\/nxt-womens-division\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">women&#8217;s division<\/a> remains to this day. This will give them another chance to shine more in a unique fashion and give the less involved women a chance to form tag teams and show what they got. That should be the real win for fans and wrestlers alike.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.15752-0\/p403x403\/158671812_942683033142004_5941088796551031994_n.png?_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=1-3&amp;_nc_sid=f79d6e&amp;_nc_ohc=bT9BERxogc0AX_ksXXG&amp;_nc_ad=z-m&amp;_nc_cid=0&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.xx&amp;_nc_tp=30&amp;oh=15c9ee1f07f28df6094406785af0288e&amp;oe=606D820F\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"403\"><\/p>\n<h3><strong>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
