Tonight’s NXT featured the first match in the first-ever Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, which took place between Mercedes Martinez and Toni Storm and Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter, and early on it was all Storm and Martinez. Storm started things off and kept Carter and Catanzaro grounded, and Martinez kept the momentum going after tagging in. Things didn’t look good for the duo but their experience as a team came into play, as Carter slyly tagged Catanzaro without Martinez seeing her, and then they teamed up to knock her out of the ring.
