Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Io Shirai vs Toni Storm

Here's the match video of Io Shirai vs Toni Storm from last night's episode of NXT. Of course these two have wrestled each other many times in Japan. But I think this is the first time Toni has wrestled a heel Io. One thing fans may not know is Toni has moved to Florida so she is moving permanently to NXT. And she is challenging Rhea Ripley for the NXT Women's Championship on this Saturday's When Worlds Collide. Of course Io thinks she should get a title shot. And Bianca Belair earned a title shot on last week's battle royal. So I was not surprised this match ended in a non finish when Bianca attacked Toni and then Rhea made the save. Until that point, the match was as competitive as one would expect from two wrestlers who know each other very well. After the finish, Io hits Rhea with a springboard dropkick followed by a moonsault to the floor on Rhea and Bianca. Toni follows with a suicide dive on Io. the segment ends with Toni holding the belt. I expect we will see a four way match for the title at some point. What about former champ Shayna Baszler? Don't be surprised if she wins this Sunday's Royal Rumble and moves to the main roster. Enjoy the video!
