The episode of NXT that aired tonight finished with a full-fledged battle involving some of the biggest names in the NXT Women's Division, and by the conclusion of it, we had practically all of the stars that will compete in the Women's War Games event next month. It all started with a bout between Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai, as the two former friends tried to put their grudge to rest.
Unfortunately, Toxic Attraction made their way to the ring to assault Gonzalez, so it didn't turn out that way. Mandy Rose, Gig Dolin, and Jacy Jayne all got their kicks in, as did Kai, but Gonzalez was quickly bolstered.
Cora Jade made her way to the ring to assist Gonzalez, and she was able to take out most of Toxic Attraction with her skateboard before being overrun. Zoey Stark returned to NXT at that time.
She wasn't racing towards the ring, unfortunately. Stark had knee surgery recently and was walking with crutches and a knee brace. Toxic Attraction began to laugh, but then Stark held up one of her crutches, which
IO Games seized as she dashed toward the ring.
She then cleared Toxic Attraction before joining forces with Jade to inflict even more torture. Meanwhile, Kai was choking Gonzalez as she clung to her back, but Shirai and Jade ultimately got her down. Then Jade got to work, slamming her skateboard into pretty much all four opponents, and by the end of the segment, Toxic Attraction and Kai were standing outside the ring, while Gonzalez, Shirai, and Jade were inside. Shirai then took up a microphone and roared "Warrrgggaam”.
There is still room on Team Gonzalez, Shirai, and Jade for one more member, and there are a few alternatives. Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter would be the most likely candidates if there were two seats available, but with only one, I'm betting on Kay Lee Ray. She's already rubbed Toxic Attraction the wrong way, and although she's not a pure babyface, she's also not a full-on heel, so she'd fit in well in a War Games-style situation, especially if NXT wants to put her in more of a spotlight stateside.
Sarray and Amari Miller are two more candidates, but Ray is the most likely.
Who do you wish to see as the team's fourth member? Let us know in the comments, and as usual, you can reach out to me on Twitter at @MattAguilarCB to discuss all things wrestling!
