WWE NXT WarGames fittingly kicked off with a hard-fought battle when the women’s division’s top stars clashed inside the steel structure.
Raquel Gonzalez teamed up with Io Shirai, Kay Lee Ray and Cora Jade to face NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose, NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne and Dakota Kai.
The bout started with KLR and Kai, and they fought in a rematch of their Ladder Match from the past week’s episode of WWE NXT 2.0. The former NXT UK Women’s Champion slammed Kai on a table of kendo sticks in an early highlight.
Team Toxic Attraction eventually took control, as they grounded Shirai and banded together to dominate for a few minutes. “The Genius of the Sky” eventually rallied, and a jaw-dropping moment subsequently swung the momentum in her team’s favor.
Jade climbed to the top of the cage and jumped off onto Jayne, sending both women crashing through the table. But Jade didn’t quite stick the landing, so she landed on her shoulder.

To help her teammate, Shirai popped Jade’s shoulder back into place so she could keep fighting. Shirai later had her own hardcore moment when she hit a moonsault with a garbage can for extra impact. Eventually, Rose entered the bout last, so both teams could finally go for the win via pin or submission. Rose and her allies ganged up on Gonzalez to gain the upper hand. Left by herself, Jade took the fight to her opponents, but the numbers advantage overcame her. But Gonzalez rallied and evened the playing field with a flurry of offense. In the end, Jade pinned Jayne to win the bout.
