Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez lose NXT Women’s Tag Team titles on their first night as champions. They were awarded the titles earlier in the night.
William Regal followed up his promise of a groundbreaking announcement with not one two but major declarations. One, NXT’s first ever two day TakeOver next month, and the second, NXT’s own Women’s tag team titles. The Championships were awarded to Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic winners Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez.

Unfortunately for the new champions, they could’t hold on to their titles for too long. Scheduled to face Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart later in the night, the innaugral champions dropped the titles to the same opponents they beat in the finals of the Women’s Dusty Cup.

Kai and Gonzalez took on Moon and Blackheart in a rematch, this time for the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship. Moon, who is also a former NXT Champion, completed the double after her team prevailed to become the second ever Women’s Tag Team Champion.

While everyone congratulated the new champions, Candice LeRae and Indy Hartwell were far from pleased with the development. They were seen sulking in the background and this could very well be the feud heading to NXT TakeOver: Stand and Deliver.
Everyone is happy for new #WWENXT Women’s #TagTeamChampions @WWEEmberMoon & @ShotziWWE….
