Dakota Kai & Tegan Nox are one step away from completing storybook comebacks from injury, but their next obstacle is their biggest yet.
Strong and thriving in their recent returns, they joined forces Wednesday to knock off Marina Shafir & Jessamyn Duke in a match that NXT General Manager William Regal ruled would determine the next challenger for the Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Nox used The Shiniest Wizard to clinch the title opportunity, but her celebration with Kai was short-lived. Asuka & Kairi Sane appeared anything but impressed, delivering a message on the TitanTron for their new-found foes, declaring that they have no chance of ending the current champions’ reign when the two teams tangle next week on NXT.
