Mandy Rose attacked Raquel Gonzalez with the help of Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne last week on WWE NXT. Rose was set to take on former NXT Women’s Champion Ember Moon in a singles match this week.
Moon took control early before hanging her up in the Tree of Woe in the corner. Toxic Attraction got involved and helped Mandy Rose before Moon took them out with a big dive.
The War Goddess took down Rose with a powerbomb and diving double knees. Rose tried to fight back, but couldn't keep the momentum going for too long.
Late in the match, Ember Moon set up to hit the Eclipse. However, Rose countered the move and landed a bicycle knee for the win. Toxic Attraction celebrated the victory while Moon looked a little too disappointed.
The contest allowed both women to show what they’ve got. Rose has never been the best in-ring performer, but she's improving. Meanwhile, Moon could undergo a character change and become a heel once again.
Toxic Attraction has a long way to go and will need a few more victories to come across as a threat. However, it looks like Mandy Rose could defeat Raquel Gonzalez for the NXT Women’s Championship at Halloween Havoc.
