Team Shotzi earns the advantage at WarGames as Io Shirai rounds out the team

by

The main event of this week’s NXT saw Shotzi Blackheart and Raquel Gonzalez tear down in a ladder match. The goal? To earn the advantage for the WarGames match this Sunday.

Much like the men last week, the team members of each team were perched up top and isolated from ringside. Indi Hartwell pledged her allegiance to Team Candice and delivered a ladder where they could make their way down to help Gonzalez. Rhea Ripley and Ember Moon followed to help Blackheart. Hartwell continued to try and help as she set up a ladder in the middle of the ring but that just opened up the door for NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai.

Shirai made the leap to stop Gonzalez from making it to the top of the ladder to grab the briefcase. This led to the NXT Women’s Champion executing a moonsault that took out the entire WarGames field.

This opened the door for Blackheart to climb the ladder and secure the victory. Without saying a word, Shirai rounded out Team Shotzi as expected.

TakeOver: WarGames is this Sunday, Dec. 6, and will be Team Candice (Candice LeRae, Raquel Gonzalez, Dakota Kai, and Toni Storm) vs. Team Shotzi (Shotzi Blackheart, Ember Moon, Rhea Ripley, and Io Shirai). This will be the second year in a row that Kai, Ripley, Shirai, and LeRae have partaken in a WarGames match.

Check back in with Diva Dirt for any news and results from the upcoming event.

Io Shirai retains the NXT Women’s Title at TakeOver: XXX

by

Io Shirai is still the NXT Women’s Champion after her successful win at TakeOver: XXX. What can be said though is her win certainly wasn’t easy. Dakota Kai took the Joshi Judas to her limits and even with the help of Raquel Gonzalez it wasn’t enough.

In a match that lasted over 17-minutes, saying that Kai pulled out everything in her arsenal is an understatement. There were many moments throughout that the challenger almost won her first title in WWE. She pulled out her kicks, the Kairopractor, and even had an armbar locked in so tight that it was shocking that Shirai was able to force a break and not tap out.

Towards the end of the match, the referee was knocked out. This allowed the equalizer of Gonzalez to enter the ring and layout Shirai. She pulled Kai on top of her and pulled the referee up to make the count. Somehow, Shirai was able to kick out. She eventually was able to hit her moonsault and get the three-count to retain her title.

After the match, Gonzalez re-entered the ring and went on the attack. Rhea Ripley’s music would then hit and The Nightmare made her way to ring. In an interesting turn of events, instead of Ripley going after her old foe Shirai, she instead would lock her eyes on Gonzalez. The two stared at each other face-to-face before Gonzalez left the ring with Kai.

As Shirai then celebrated her win, Ripley was seen watching her from the ramp.
