Tonight’s NXT 2.0 will have the finals for the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. The two teams that made it through to the last match are Io Shirai & Kay Lee Ray vs. Dakota Kai & Wendy Choo.
As a recap of how this final match came to fruition, the two teams that Shirai & KLR defeated to advance were Lash Legend/Amari Miller and Kacy Catanzaro/Kayden Carter. Kai & Choo defeated the teams of Indi Hartwell/Persia Pirotta and Raquel Gonzalez/Cora Jade.
If Shirai & KLR win the gold it will be Shirai’s second reign as champion (w/ Zoey Stark) and the first for KLR. Kai won the Dusty Tag Team Classic last year (with Raquel Gonzalez) and became the inaugural NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions. They were awarded the gold by William Regal after they faced Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles and were cheated out of a win. This would be Choo’s first gold in WWE if she were to win.
The winning team of the tournament will go on to Stand & Deliver on April 2 and face Toxic Attraction for the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships. This event is the same day as Day One of WrestleMania 38 and will happen at 1:00 PM EST.
