Toni Storm is getting ready for her NXT Women’s Title match this week as she faces the champion, Io Shirai. With her eyes firmly on gold, she also commented on the possibility of the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships being introduced.
On last week’s NXT, Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez were poised to becoming the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions as they faced the current champions Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler. By the end, things didn’t go so well for them and the match ended in a controversy involving Adam Pearce and an official from RAW.
This infuriated NXT General Manager William Regal. He stated that after what happened during this match he would make an announcement the following week that will shake up the landscape of NXT.
The reports and rumors are pretty solid in that this announcement will be the introduction of NXT’s own Women’s Tag Team Championships. Storm weighed in on how this addition would certainly be a game-changer for the women of NXT.
“If that happens, like, that’s going to change the entire division. I mean, we’ve got more women than we ever have. So it’s going to be entertaining as hell. Like if that’s the case… it might as well just be all women (laughs),” says Storm to Sportskeeda.
She continues, “I’m not opposed to that either. A whole show about me (laughs)! But yeah, this (NXT Women’s Tag Titles) is going to raise the stakes and make competition even higher, if this is what’s happening. I get nervous when William Regal is going to announce something because you just know it’s going to be good.”
Toni Storm is a former NXT UK Women’s Champion and if she defeats Shirai tomorrow for the NXT Women’s Title then she will be only one of two women to have held both titles.
