Toxic Attraction was booked for a six-woman tag team match on WWE NXT 2.0. Io Shirai, Kayden Carter, and Kacy Catanzaro challenged the champion trio.
Mandy Rose took control of the contest early and tried to isolate Carter. Catanzaro soon came in and impressed the fans with her athleticism. Once Io Shirai got the tag, she exploded into the match with a different energy.
The Genius of the Sky went on a roll and hit the Over the Moonsault on Rose for a nearfall. Gigi Dolin and Jacy broke the pin to keep their leader in the match.
Carter was tagged soon after and took out her opponents. While she climbed the ropes to finish the match, ringside chaos distracted her long enough for Dolin to pull her down and hit an abdominal stretch bomb.
It was a decent contest that allowed both teams to showcase their talent. But NXT 2.0 could have started with a better match to get the fans warmed up.
However, it was the right call to let Toxic Attraction win the contest. TakeOver: WarGames is still a few weeks away, and it will give Shirai some time to build up the NXT Women's Championship match against Mandy Rose.
Meanwhile, Carter and Catanzaro will need to do more to get their shot at the NXT Women's Tag Team titles.
