Raquel Gonzalez picked up the biggest win of her career on Sunday, securing her team's victory by pinning NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai in the WarGames structure. Yet, she had another mammoth task ahead of her, without the injured Dakota Kai by her side, in the form of Ember Moon last night.

In an age-old speed Vs strength encounter, Moon regularly used her impressive athleticism to evade and counter the methodical powerhouse in front of her with enziguris and dropkicks. Gonzalez soon made her size advantage count, though, treating the former NXT Women's Champion like a test dummy.

Moon sold every piece of Gonzalez offence like she'd just been hit by a steam train. But, the innovative face wasn't finished just yet. The NXT veteran worked her way back into the end-to-end match with a tornado suplex and dive to the outside. However, Moon still wasn't able to put the force of nature away, with Gonzalez even resisting an Eclipse mid-flight.

Gonzalez was then finally able to finish off her rival with a single-armed power-bomb, but her night was not over yet.

Soon after this highly impressive victory, Toni Storm made her way to the ring to pick at the bones of Moon. Yet, Rhea Ripley wasn't content to watch the beatdown take place, entering the CWC and locking eyes with her fellow Amazonian.
