NXT riddled with injuries; a new tag team emerges

Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez vs Rhea Ripley and Ember Moon on NXT

Ember Moon and Dakota Kai started things off, with Kai slapping the former NXT Women's Champion across the face. Moon responded with haymakers, dropping Kai to the floor for a bullet-speed suicide dive. Raquel Gonzalez tried to rush Moon, but Rhea Ripley hit a big rolling senton off the apron.

Ripley tagged in and booted Kai out of her boots. Prior to that, Gonzalez had hit a back tag on Kai. After Ripley had sent Kai to the floor, Gonzalez rocked her with a boot of her own.

During the break, Kai and Gonzalez took turns battering the Mosh Pit Kid in their corner. Gonzalez locked Ripley in a modified Gory Special, but couldn't get the submission. Ripley ducked a clothesline but was caught by her pants for a rear clothesline.

Dakota Kai tagged in and immediately lost the upper hand as she was planted by Ripley. Moon tagged in and battered Kai with a series of kicks. Gonzalez came in but was taken out when Moon launched Kai into her.

The Shenom of NXT hit a sliding flatliner on Gonzalez and a second rope Codebreaker on Kai. Ripley tagged back in and ducked a high roundhouse for an electric chair facebuster on Kai.

Kai barely kicked out, and Raquel Gonzalez saved her from the Prism Trap. The former NXT Women's Champion was distracted, though, and hit with the Kairopractor. 1-2-no, Ripley kicked out.

Back to her feet, a savate kick rocked Kai. Moon tagged in and laid out Kai with a discus clothesline. Gonzalez broke it up, but some tandem offense from Moon and Ripley spiked her with a tornado DDT. Gonzalez and Ripley were knocked to the floor.

Kai got caught with a pop-up powerbomb by the moon. As Gonzalez stopped the Eclipse, Ripley yanked her off the apron. Kai booted them into the announcer's desk but turned right into the Eclipse for the win.
