The final match for the 2022 WWE NXT Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic has been made, official following last night’s NXT episode. During the Roadblock gimmick special episode, two semi-finals matches went down to determine the winners and participants of the final match.
Io Shirai and Kay Lee Ray defeated Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter to advance in one of the semi-final matches. Catanzaro spiked KLR off Carter’s shoulders with a big hurricanrana but Shirai leaped into the ring to break the pin. Shirai sent Carter into the steel ring steps as KLR superkick-ed Catanzaro. KLR connected with the KLR Bomb as Shirai went to the top rope and hit her signature moonsault for the pin to win in this big match from WWE NXT.

In the other semi-final, Wendy Choo and Dakota Kai defeated Cora Jade and Raquel Gonzalez to advance. The babyfaces lost the match due to interference by WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne of Toxic Attraction who targeted Raquel’s knees, midway through the match.

A hurt Raquel went for the Chingona Bomb in the opening contest of WWE NXT but her knee gave up. Choo ended up hitting a moonsault on Raquel as Kai followed up with a double stomp for the pin to win and advance to the final matchup.
The tournament final lineup now stands Shirai and KLR vs. Choo and Kai but there’s no update on when the match would take place. The winning team will have their names added to the Dusty Classic trophy, and they will receive a title shot from WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions, Dolin and Jayne.
