On the March 10 episode of NXT, Shirai approached Gonzalez after her loss alongside Dakota Kai as the inaugural NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions. After defeating Toni Storm that same night, Shirai was looking for her next opponent. She ran right into Gonzalez and confronted her.

This match has been an idea for quite some time. Gonzalez pinned Shirai in the last WarGames match that took place in December. Since then, Gonzalez took out Rhea Ripley in a Last Woman Standing match.
