Ember Moon & Shotzi Blackheart successfully made it to the final match in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. On this week’s NXT, the duo defeated the tough team of Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell to advance. They will be taking on Raquel Gonzalez & Dakota Kai this Sunday at TakeOver: Vengeance Day.

Both teams in the semi-final match tonight showed great teamwork. In the final moments of the match, Moon hits her Eclipse on LeRae. Hartwell puts herself on top of LeRae to protect her after the move. Blackheart then hits a Senton on both women and pins Hartwell for the big win.

After the match, the winning team celebrates as their challengers come out to face them. Both teams go face-to-face in front of the Dusty Classic Trophy before General Manager William Regal comes out to make an announcement. Not only do the winners win the trophy and make history as the first winners of a women’s Dusty Cup but they also get a shot at the Women’s Tag Team Titles.

The current Women’s Tag Team Champions are Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler who recently became two-time champions at the Royal Rumble. Currently, the number one contenders of Lana and Naomi have the next shot at the champs. That match has not been given a date yet.

Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez solidify their spot in the finals of the Dusty Classic

Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez went into tonight’s NXT as the odds on favorite to win their semi-final match against Team Ninja (Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter). Kai & Gonzalez did just that as they defeated Team Ninja to advance into the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Team Ninja’s grit and determination is never questioned, however, it was not quite enough. Highlights of the match include Carter showing off her great athleticism until she was taken out by Gonzalez who hurled her into the announce table.

Catanzaro then showed her fearlessness as she jumped from the ring apron to Gonzalez’s back and then used it as a ramp to climb up a ringside light structure. She then hit a crossbody off the structure to take down her opponents. At the end of the match, Gonzalez decimated Catanzaro with a vicious power slam that allowed her to get the pin and the win.

Kai and Gonzalez will face the winners of the other semi-final match between Indi Hartwell & Candice LeRae and Shotzi Blackheart & Ember Moon. The final match will take place at the next TakeOver event named Vengeance Day on Feb. 14.

The upcoming TakeOver event will host a huge Triple Threat Match for the NXT Women’s Title. One of the competitors in that match, Toni Storm, took on Jessi Kamea on this week’s show.

Kamea was joined by the Robert Stone Brand so it seems as though she has transitioned into it after their loss in the Dusty Classic. The match didn’t last long and Storm won by disqualification as her upcoming opponents Mercedes Martinez and NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai interfered. Shirai took her time as her challengers took each other apart before delivering a moonsault. The segment ended with her holding up her title to exert her dominance.

NXT also aired an origin story of Tian Sha. This is the warrior that leads and trained Xia Li and Boa. In this it explains she is thousands of years old. You can view it below.
