During the final days of EVOLVE, the two main female performers were NXT's Shotzi Blackheart and Brandi Lauren. The duo had several matches against each other, including a No DQ match at EVOLVE's 10th Anniversary Show. Blackheart moved on to NXT and quickly debuted with the brand after signing in 2019. Since her debut, Blackheart has been one of the featured women in NXT and even won the 2020 NXT Breakout Star of the Year.

Lauren signed with NXT in late August of 2020 but was only recently renamed, Skyler Story. She competed in a #1 Contender's Battle Royal during the fall but wasn't named during the match. She received her new name in November of 2020, and when that happens, it usually means that an official debut on TV is on the horizon.

Since that hasn't happened just yet, it's very likely that she'll be gracing the screens of NXT at some point this year. Story could very easily pick up her feud with Blackheart and/or join Candice LeRae against Shotzi.

With the announcement of the first-ever Women's Dusty Rhodes Classic Tag Team Tournament, Story could debut as Blackheart's partner. As Kayci Quinn and Ava Storie, Story competed in IMPACT Wrestling for a few matches as an enhancement talent. In 2021, she'll be a featured player in NXT.
