Toni Storm calls out the NXT Women's Champion

Toni Storm went right to the ring to demand a shot from Io Shirai. Storm had already beaten her before, knocking off the Genius of the Sky at the Mae Young Classic in 2018. With Shirai ruining her shot at winning the first-ever Women's Dusty Cup, Storm was looking for revenge.

Shirai moved to the ring and said that she was ready for Strom. They came to blows, with Shirai getting the best of Storm. The former NXT UK Women's Champion was taken to the floor, but Shirai was attacked by Mercedes Martinez, Storm's Dusty Cup partner.

Storm and Martinez fought over who would get their shot at the Joshi Judas, and the three-way brawl ended with Storm holding the NXT Women's Title above her head.

Isaiah "Swerve" Scott was asked about why he got into Bronson Reed's face last week. Swerve said that everyone in NXT was pointing a finger at him, and told McKenzie to literally do the same. When she did, Scott made sure she realized that there were three pointing back at her.
