Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic First Round: Zoey Stark and Marina Shafir vs Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart on 205 Live
In her WWE and 205 Live debut, Zoey Stark shoved Shotzi Blackheart into her corner with ease. Blackheart tagged out to former NXT Women's Champion Ember Moon, who was also surprised by the pure strength of Stark.
Marina Shafir tagged in next, with the MMA Four Horsewomen member using her judo background to get the best of Moon. The Shenom didn't back down, though, and went blow for blow with Shafir. Stark ran in, and both she and Shafir fell into the ropes for some tandem strikes by Blackheart and Moon.
Stark and Shafir got the upper hand in the 205 Live main event when the ref's back was turned, leaving Shotzi in an extremely compromising position on the wrong side of the ring. A pump handle toss sent Blackheart overhead, and a pumphandle GTS, dubbed Go To Stark, landed. Stark would've gotten the win if Moon didn't make the save.
Blackheart managed to tag out, and Moon battered Stark with some strong right hands and boots. A double underhook suplex planted Stark, and Moon followed up with a running hip attack. The leaping codebreaker dropped Stark for a two-count. Blackheart and Shafir fought to the floor as Moon trapped Stark in an arching STF Crossface to get the win.
Results: Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart defeated Zoey Stark and Marina Shafir via submission on 205 Live.
