There has been a change to the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship match set for tonight’s show. Jessi Kamea is out with an injury according to an official report by WWE. Therefore, Aliyah and Robert Stone have looked to a former member of The Robert Stone Brand to help – Mercedes Martinez.
Aliyah and Martinez are taking on the champions Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon. This will be Aliyah’s first title match with the company.
Official preview from WWE:
Shotzi Blackheart & Ember Moon didn’t have to wait long for challengers to emerge courtesy of The Robert Stone Brand.
But with Jessi Kamea sidelined, they’ll face a curveball in their first title defense against Aliyah and Mercedes Martinez tonight on NXT.
One week after stunning Raquel González & Dakota Kai to capture the titles, Blackheart & Moon ran into Stone and company, who laid down the challenge. The champions didn’t hesitate to accept.
However, Kamea has suffered an injury, leaving Aliyah without a partner — until Robert Stone convinced Martinez to step in thanks to a special incentive.
The second match for tonight was also set from last week and that is the number one contender for the NXT Women’s Title Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai facing the team of Zoey Stark and the NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai. Last week, Stark had a one-on-one match with Kai in a losing effort. Shirai then presented Gonzalez with the contract for their title match. They will face each other at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver in the main event on April 7.
