Dusty Rhodes Classic Match Added To NXT

Dusty Rhodes Classic Match Added To NXT

This week’s episode of NXT will have another match added to it. More specifically, another first-round match in the women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

WWE announced today that the first-round match pitting Raquel González and Dakota Kai against Aliyah and Jessi Kamea will take place on tonight’s show. Here is the official preview from WWE.com:

“Raquel González & Dakota Kai have left plenty of wreckage in their wake since aligning almost a year ago. Now they’ve set their sights on some hardware.

‘Big Mami Cool’ & Kai will look to advance to the semifinals of the Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic this Wednesday night as they battle Aliyah & Jessi Kamea, accompanied by Robert Stone.

Arguably no competitor in NXT is hotter right now than González. The powerhouse Superstar ended 2020 by scoring the winning final in WarGames against NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai, then toppled former NXT Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley in a brutal Last Woman Standing Match. Gonzalez and Kai have shown they’ll do anything it takes to win, whether by hook or by crook.

On the other side of the ring, client retention was an issue for The Robert Stone Brand last year, with only Aliyah remaining. By bringing Kamea into the fold, has Stone found the antidote for his brand’s shortcomings?”

Last week saw the beginning of the women’s Dusty Rhodes Classic with Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter eliminating Mercedes Martinez and Toni Storm in an upset.
