Ray first won the title when she defeated Storm at NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff back in August 2019. Since then, Ray has defended her title on a number of occasions, including multiple matches involving Storm. 

The champion also appeared on NXT television a handful of times in recent months and even wrestled on the Worlds Collide event this past January, beating Mia Yim in a non-title match.

NXT UK airs on the WWE Network every Thursday.
