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.

Shaul Guerrero reveals her goal is to be signed with AEW

Shaul Guerrero has made her way back into the ring over the course of the past year. She made her return at a GCW event in December and participated in two matches in the Diamond Cup for the GCW Women’s Title.

Her bookings are continuing as she will be at an MPW show on Feb. 6 and the first GSW show on Feb. 20. At GSW she will be taking on the IMPACT Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo. She speaks with Wrestling Inc. Daily on this booking and how she feels to face Purrazzo.

https://twitter.com/gsw_pro/status/1354365766011924481?s=20

“Honestly, Brandon hit me up, one of the owners of GSW, and I wasn’t even aware I was going to be facing Deonna Purrazzo until they posted on their Instagram,” Guerrero admitted. “And I was like, ‘Holy crap!’ I freaked out. I was really excited, really intimidated, but also, I can’t wait to learn from Deonna and just get in the ring with her. I feel very honored.

“In a lot of ways, I feel like a veteran mentally in a certain way because I’ve been in the business since before I could walk. I’m just very used to wrestling, but Deonna, Deonna has been consistent as far as in-ring competition. We’ve trained at the same place. Deonna trained with NXT and the WWE Performance Center.”

“So I’m very interested in seeing how our dynamic will be in the ring. I’ve only met Deonna one time. So the next time we’re going to meet, it will be more than a brief encounter, hopefully, and I can’t wait to see what magic we make in the ring.”

She also speaks on working during the pandemic and how she feels about it. Guerrero is grateful to be receiving bookings and hopes everyone is being as safe as they can be.

“With the pandemic, I feel first of all, incredibly fortunate that I even have a booking,” Guerrero pointed out. “It’s difficult for everyone to get bookings, and thankfully, there’s so many women wrestlers and there’s so many wrestlers in general now and there’s so many companies to be able to choose from.”

“So I just felt very honored that GSW feels confident in me to be on the debut show and whatnot, and I’m really looking forward to it. Right now, my show requirements are, is everyone going to be safe? Is the talent going to be safe? Are the fans going to be safe? And so long as those things are understood and I feel confident with who I am in the ring with, then bring it. Let’s tear the house down absolutely.”

Guerrero has been seen at various promotions over the past several years outside of the ring. She has worked for Lucha Underground, WOW, and was recently seen at AEW ring announcing the Deadly Draw Tournament. She says that her big goal would be to get to AEW and be signed as an in-ring competitor.

“I would absolutely love to go. That’s my big goal honestly,” Guerrero revealed. “I’m going to keep working my ass off until they take notice of me as an in-ring competitor. I’m going to do everything I can to get noticed by them because that’s where I want to be.”

She adds, “We’ll see how long I can wrestle. I’m hoping to keep my body really in tip-top shape. I’m doing a lot better now that I don’t have to bump every single day. I can actually take a day off after I have a really intense match. So that’s really wonderful, but honestly, when I went to AEW to announce and I was watching Dustin Rhodes teach the girls, they were having class and the bug was biting you really bad.”

Victoria makes her long-awaited Royal Rumble appearance

WWE legend Victoria finally makes her appearance in the Royal Rumble match. She entered this year’s match at the number 10 spot and if only there was a live crowd to enjoy this moment.

Victoria is a former two-time WWE Women’s Champion and is a pure veteran in the industry. After WWE she went to TNA where she became a five-time Knockouts Champion and held the Knockouts Tag Team Championship with Brooke Tessmacher. She wrestled her last match in 2019 and retired from in-ring competition after nearly 20 years in the business.

Victoria has always been a fan favorite and has been one that people have wanted to see in a Rumble since the first women’s match in 2018. In that original women’s Royal Rumble match, many legends and Hall of Famers returned to fill the 30 spots. Victoria not being one of them certainly rubbed fans the wrong way.

By entering in at the number 10 spot, she stormed the ring and took down many of the stars of today that were currently dominating the match. These included Bayley, Naomi, and Ruby Riott. She was eventually eliminated by Shayna Baszler.

This tweet below shows what Victoria feels about finally having her moment. All smiles.

Victoria joined some other surprising entries. Jillian Hall, Torrie Wilson, and Alicia Fox were others to join her in returning to the ring. Fox wins and then loses the 24/7 Championship during the match. NXT entries included Shotzi Blackheart, Toni Storm, Santana Garrett, Rhea Ripley, Dakota Kai, and Ember Moon.
