After both coming out on top in this year's Men's and Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classics finals at Vengeance Day, MSK and the team of Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez were both set to be awarded the prestigious Dusty Cup this week.

MSK were out first, taking a moment to run around the arena like giddy kids, hugging presenter Beth Phoenix and gushing over the shimmering trophy in the ring. The dynamic duo then announced they would be cashing in on their shot at NXT Tag Team Champions Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan on March 3.

Kai and Gonzalez were out next, with the NXT crowd serenading the pair with a "You deserve it!" chant. Their celebrations were quickly cut short, however, as Women's Tag Team Champions Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax returned to the black and gold brand. It didn't take long for Kai to introduce the pair to Gonzalez, noting how Baszler fled after losing to Rhea Ripley; The same Ripley Gonzalez bested in a Last Women Standing match.

Baszler returned the favour by reminding Kai of how she once broke her arm. However, the zinger of the night award went to Gonzalez as she confessed that she planned on shoving a boot so far up Jax's hole that she'll never get it out.

In case it wasn't clear already, Gonzalez and Kai, coupled with the history and pride at stake, coming to blows with Jax and Baszler in two weeks' time could be the shot in the arm those belts are in dire need of.
