Toni…or she tries to

Next Week, it was the two night NXT Stand and Deliver. Among the most anticipated matches were Karrion Kross vs Finn Balor for the NXT Title, Kyle O'Reilly vs Adam Cole in an Unsanctioned grudge match, WALTER vs Tommaso Ciampa for the NXT UK Title, Raquel Gonzales and Dakota Kai vs Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackhart vs The Way for the NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles, and Io Shirai vs Toni Storm in a Bra And Panties Match for the NXT Women’s Title. And, while William Regal was hesitant to give such a controversial match the main event slot, he had ****, because he wanted to make the last half hour of night one rated TV 14, just for the stipulation. A little disclaimer and warning even appeared, warning parents to have their kids stop watching, that their could be partial nudity in what happened next.

Toni could care less though, she was just focused on two things, winning the NXT Women’s Title, and embarrassing Io Shirai. Which is why she made her entrance first, full of confidence. She was clad in the same pants she had worn in her first singles title match, make it harder to strip her, and also a tight, black tank top. It wasn’t fully classic wrestling gear, but she wanted to give Io a hard time getting her clothes off. However, as she struck her poses on top of the ramp, Io suddenly appeared, on top of the skull stage decoration, and dove onto Toni, not about to wait for this match to start properly.

“You want to embarrass me? You want to humiliate me?” Io screams in Toni’s face after landing a crossbody, adrenaline flowing through her while Toni clutched at her ribs, rolling and crawling towards the ring. “Get back here, bitch!” Io shouts, in an early fury as she rips off Toni’s jacket and grabs her by the hair, slowly picking her up and throwing her into the plexiglass barricade, unloading weeks of fury onto the self proclaimed Top Star Of NXT.

“You Can’t Beat Me!” Io screams after the crash, Toni still hurting as she tried to get away from her opponent. She wasn’t about to let her though, chasing after her and grabbing her by her tights. However, Toni manages to elbow back at Io and knock her away, reaching down instinctively to fix her gear, before rushing at Shirai and attempting a big boot. The champion dodges, and sends Toni stumbling past her, before landing a big palm strike right under her jaw, knocking the blonde to the ground. Io began to look around, not caring about the stipulation, or that the match hadn’t started yet, she just wanted to hurt Storm. Finding what she wanted, Io began to climb up one of the support structures at ringside, just as she had at Vengeance Day.

“You. Are. Finished!” Io shouts, looking over her shoulder and making sure that Toni still looked out of it, which she did, before crossing her arms, gesturing that it was in fact over, and leaping off, looking for her signature moonsault from a place much higher than normal, to the ramp! That’s how much she hated Toni!
