Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon got the W to kick off NXT, but it didn’t come without a receipt.
Blackheart and Moon defeated Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai in a tag match to kick off this week’s NXT. Raquel began the bout by exuding her power against Shotzi and it caused Blackheart to tag in Ember. Ember evades and manages a hurricanrana followed by some pin attempts. After a bodyslam, Kai gets the tag and goes for a pin as the heels maintain control of the contest. That changes once Shotzi tags herself in and the synergy between her and Moon is on display. Blackheart has Kai in an elevated cloverleaf and Raquel has to pull her free. She tags herself in and continues dominance through the break.
After that, Moon gets a hot tag and does her own flip, flop and fly Dusty style and she has the advantage on the NXT Women’s Champ. A distraction by Kai changes that but Blackheart gets a hot tag and hits a knee facebuster for a near fall on Dakota.
Shotzi tries to take out Raquel, but Gonzalez makes her presence known against Ember. She goes to her a one-armed powerbomb, but Moon rolls it through to hit a modified Eclipse. The two hit their double team finisher get the pin.
Post-match, Raquel takes all her agression out on Shotzi by slamming her into the walls of the Capitol Wrestling Center as Moon is forced to watch. Raquel ends it by dropping Blackheart on the ring barrier while saying she’s next.
