The WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, The Kabuki Warriors, made their way to NXT this week to defend the gold. They faced NXT Women’s Champion Lura Valkyria and Tatum Paxley.
Although there were a couple of very near falls that had Valkyria and Paxley just inches away from becoming tag team champions, a miscommunication led to their demise. A roundhouse kick from Valkyria landed on Paxley instead of Kairi Sane. Sane takes advantage of the miscue and hits the InSane elbow as a result on Paxley with the help of Asuka to retain the titles.
The defeat itself wasn’t the end of the line for Valkyria. Roxanne Perez came out and attacked her from behind. She viciously threw the NXT Women’s Champion into multiple ring posts before landing her onto the bottom turnbuckle. There, Perez exposed the turnbuckle, wrapped Valkyria’s arm around the exposed steel and stomped down.
During the commercial break, Valkyria was stretchered out and placed into an ambulance to go to the hospital.
Elsewhere on NXT, things are really breaking down for the women of Chase U. Fallon Henley was seen backstage talking to Riley Osborne. They were talking about his date with Thea Hail and how it didn’t go over so well. He says he misses the energetic and full of life Thea and that she isn’t the same. Blair Davenport enters and a match is and says Hail isn’t even Osborne’s type. Ironically, Henley says how would she even know that (as Osborne and Davenport are engaged in real life).
Osborne heads out to the men’s tag team title match which had Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin defend against Chase U’s Andre Chase and Duke Hudson. Hail, Jacy Jayne, and Jazmyn Nyx joined Osborne at ringside. When Chase U wasn’t able to regain the titles, Hail flipped out and ran to the back.
Hail was seen backstage fighting with Kiana James and Izzi Dame. She tells Chase U about the fight and expects a tag team match next week. But Jayne says it won’t be her as Hail’s partner as she and Nyx walk away.
Gigi Dolin got a match for next week against Arianna Grace. Grace originally wanted nothing to do with her, but she had some stipulations. If she wins then Dolin has to bring out her true inner beauty and stop using foul language.
