WWE NXT Superstars Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai won the first-ever Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and got the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title shot. On last week’s NXT, Kai & Gonzalez faced The Champs Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler for titles, but The Champs retained the titles in controversy end.
On the recent interview with Rick Ucchino of SK Wrestling, WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix spoke about Kai & Raquel attempt to claim the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles. Beth Phoenix said that NXT has greatest women’s division in the world and bringing the women’s tag team titles would help to raise the many talented female wrestlers.
“I’m the title monger of all mongers for NXT. I say it all the time, NXT has THE greatest women’s division in the entire world. We have so many talented women that are hungry for an opportunity. If we have those tag team championships in NXT that’s four more women, every week, that can be seen on television breaking glass ceilings and doing outstanding work. But I feel like those tag titles – and this is not taking anything away from RAW and SmackDown – but man, we’re hungry for it. We want it in NXT.”
Beth Phoenix also said that both Raquel and Kai transferred themselves into dominant force and it was heartbreak the way WWE Women’s Tag Team Title match ended.
“Raquel and Dakota have put in the time and the work and have developed so much. Raquel has completely transformed herself into this dominant presence that is undeniable on-screen. And Dakota Kai, she’s a ring general. Talk to anybody. She knows her stuff inside and outside the ring. There might be no one better! I was heartbroken. The way things ended, I mean, I’m lobbying with Adam Pearce. I’m DM’ing him. It can’t end like this. I don’t feel in my heart like it will.”
After the controversial end to WWE Women’s Tag Team Title match, NXT General Manager William Regal said that there will be ‘major announcement’ on following episode of NXT.
