WWE NXT saw Robert Stone and Aliyah try to sabotage Shotzi Blackheart’s tank before they were caught in the act by Blackheart and Io Shirai. The two WWE Superstars chased the heels to the ring and laid them out with a couple of moonsaults.

It was however only a temporary alliance as Blackheart picked up Shirai’s NXT Women’s Championship and hesitated in returning it to The Jodi Judas. Shirai threatened Blackheart before snatching her title and walking up the ramp.

This week, the two are scheduled to compete in a match on NXT. While Shirai is the NXT Women’s Champion and will have the momentum behind her, WWE must allow Blackheart to turn heel during or after the match to build a rivalry between the two Superstars.

This non-title match can easily lead to a few great Championship matches, and turning the crowd-favorite Blackheart heel will allow the Superstar to show a new side of herself to the WWE Universe.
