Toni Storm battles Io Shirai for the NXT Women’s Title in two weeks

Toni Storm is still focused on becoming the NXT Women’s Championship and she will have a one-on-one chance against the champion on March 10.

After Shirai defeated Zoey Stark in a great match for the newcomer, Storm made her way out on the stage. She reminds Shriai that it was Mercedes Martinez that the champion pinned during their Triple Threat match at Vengeance Day and not her. With this being said, Storm feels that Shirai cannot beat her one-on-one. Shirai responds saying she will take on the challenge anytime, anyplace, anywhere.

Prior encounters between these two competitors in singles action have resulted in a DQ to Storm’s favor in January 2020. Storm also defeated Shirai at Evolution to win the second Mae Young Classic in 2018.

If Toni is able to defeat Io then she will become the second woman to have held both the NXT UK and NXT Women’s Titles. Second of course to Rhea Ripley.

Do you think Shirai’s time as champion may be over or will her reign continue in two weeks? Leave your thoughts below.

Jazz & Jordynne Grace earn a Knockouts Tag Team Title shot at Sacrifice on March 13

IMPACT’s next event on IMPACT Plus is Sacrifice and the Knockouts Tag Team Titles will be on the line. The champions Fire ‘N Flava will be defending their titles against Jordynne Grace & Jazz.

At the last IMPACT Plus event, No Surrender, Fire ‘N Flava retained their titles against the team of Havok & Nevaeh. Grace & Jazz earned this upcoming title shot by winning a number one contenders match on this week’s IMPACT as they defeated Susan & Kimber Lee. To conclude the match, Grace was locked in an ankle lock by Susan and after she avoided tapping out she delivered a Grace Driver to pick up the win.

Grace and Jazz then stumble upon ODB who was attacked backstage. Grace comes to the conclusion that it had to have been Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo who did this.

Also this week Havok & Nevaeh are spotted backstage discussing their recent losses. Havok is trying to convince Nevaeh that just because they have hit a rut in the win column doesn’t mean they have to break up. As Nevaeh walks away Tenille Dashwood is on a mission. She heard everything that was said and tries to recruit Havok. Havok declines.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles stay put at Elimination Chamber

Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax are still the Women’s Tag Team Champions after their victory at Elimination Chamber. They defeated Bianca Belair & SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks. Shockingly, Banks took the fall on a pin by Jax.

As the action dwindled down in the match, Jax receives a Meteora by Banks where she gets a near fall. Reginald then makes his way down to the ring with a champagne bottle. Carmella’s sommelier has been suspiciously on the side of Banks as of late. Banks is able to get Jax in the Bank Statement despite the appearance of Reginald.

After Jax is able to get out of the submission, Reginald hands Banks the champagne bottle. This gets the referee’s attention who snatches the bottle. This left Banks confused about the situation that she is distracted enough for Jax to capitalize. After a Samoan Drop, Jax pins the SmackDown Women’s Champion and retains the tag titles.

Jax and Baszler have another title defense set up for March 3 against NXT’s Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez. This match developed after Kai & Gonzalez won the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Naomi & Lana also won a title shot several weeks ago but have yet to get a date for that match.
