Io Shirai and Shotzi Blackheart took to the ring during tonight’s episode of NXT, where the NXT Women’s Champion showed off just why she was at the top of the mountain, coming away with a big win a non-title match against Blackheart.
Despite Blackheart giving it her all and taking Shirai to the limit, it was Shirai that got the win. Late in the match, Shirai was able to land a bit knee on Blackheart’s gut after she missed the landing on a moonsault. Even though she missed, that knee was more than enough to put away Blackheart, who was too tired and hurt to kick out.
