Shotzi Blackheart and Raquel Gonzalez met in the ring tonight to determine who would have an advantage heading into the upcoming NXT TakeOver: WarGames pay-per-view, and not only did she come away with a win, but a potential fourth member of her WarGames team as well.
During the match, Shotzi and Raquel went at it with all they had, but it was Blackheart who managed to survive long enough thanks to some help. Towards the end of things, Candice LeRae and her WarGames team got involved in things, which led to Rhea Ripley and Ember Moon coming down to help out. In the process, Io Shirah shocked everyone by running down to ringside and taking down Gonzalez in the ring, before moonsaulting off the ropes and taking down everyone. With Gonzalez still out of it after being tossed out and moonsaulted by Shirai, Shotzi was able to climb the ladder and grab the briefcase. With her celebrating at the top of the ladder, Moon, Shirai, and Ripley all joined her, seemingly cementing Blackheart’s WarGames team.
