Here's the match video of Io Shirai and Zoey Stark vs Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai from this week's NXT. The winner of this match gets a NXT Women's Tag team Championship match next week. Because the other two teams are former tag team champs and Io and Zoey haven't been a team very long, they would have been the underdogs coming into the match. Except Io should never be an underdog. So this is a really good match. One storyline is Raquel thinks she can win this alone. This emphasizes Dakota as a weak link. Everyone is flying around all over the place. And towards the end, everyone gets to land their finishers except Raquel. A key spot has Io aiming her moonsault at Dakota but Raquel get on top of her to protect her. Then Raquel is tossed out of the ring. Dakota attempts a pin on Io while pulling her tights. After Io kicks out, she lands the moonsault for the win. During a backstage interview, Candice LeRae warns Zoey that if Io loses, she will turn on her. That's exactly what I expect to happen. That will set the stage for Io's move to the main roster. Enjoy the video!
