Here's the match video of Team Candice vs Team Shotzi from last night's NXT Takeover War Games show. The teams are Candice Lerae, Toni Storm, Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai vs Shotzi Blackheart, Ember Moon, Rhea Ripley and Io Shirai. Shotzi comes out with a new tank that even has a missile launcher. Dakota and Ember start the match. The rules are that the match doesn't begin until all the wrestlers are in the rings. So that makes the first half hour a waste of time. When Io comes out, they try to lock her out of the cage. Logically that makes no sense as no one can win until she is in there. But it does allow Io to make a spectacular entrance that should get a zillion YouTube views. She climbed the cage with a garbage can. They didn't show how she got the garbage can up there. Suddenly Io appears at the top of the cage, puts the garbage can over herself and leaps on everyone. This is when the match starts to pick up as Io is willing to do things that the others won't or more likely can't do safely. For example, Shotzi leaps from a ladder onto Candice and a couple of chairs and breaks Candice's arm. The end comes when Io is battling with Raquel on the top turnbuckle. She tries a Hurricanrana but Raquel blocks it and powerbombs Io through a ladder for the win. After the match, Io posted a picture of herself on Twitter and says "I'm alive." I guess Raquel is the next challenger for Io's title. Enjoy the video!
